Download or read book Falafel Nation written by Yael Raviv and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2015-11 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When people discuss food in Israel, their debates ask politically charged questions: Who has the right to falafel? Whose hummus is better? But Yael Raviv’s Falafel Nation moves beyond the simply territorial to divulge the role food plays in the Jewish nation. She ponders the power struggles, moral dilemmas, and religious and ideological affiliations of the different ethnic groups that make up the “Jewish State” and how they relate to the gastronomy of the region. How do we interpret the recent upsurge in the Israeli culinary scene—the transition from ideological asceticism to the current deluge of fine restaurants, gourmet stores, and related publications and media? Focusing on the period between the 1905 immigration wave and the Six-Day War in 1967, Raviv explores foodways from the field, factory, market, and kitchen to the table. She incorporates the role of women, ethnic groups, and different generations into the story of Zionism and offers new assertions from a secular-foodie perspective on the relationship between Jewish religion and Jewish nationalism. A study of the changes in food practices and in attitudes toward food and cooking, Falafel Nation explains how the change in the relationship between Israelis and their food mirrors the search for a definition of modern Jewish nationalism.

Book 1 – Big Cities and Mountain Villages Three months in the Italian Alps makes an idyllic holiday. After a typical tour of Italy, Noor heads north to spend a nice, quiet winter with her Grandma. It’s going to be great. She’ll go for walks and enjoy the fresh mountain air, read by the wood-burning stove and under no circumstances use the chamber pot under the bed. At least, that was the plan. She didn’t plan on running out of money. Or riding on the back of a bicycle, in traffic, with no helmet on. Oh, and there was that one time a giant pig tried to force his way into the kitchen. And there’s so much she’s forgotten about her childhood in Italy – like how the water freezer in the pipes, how cold it is using the outdoor toilet and how the Church bells ring every hour of the day and night. But, it’s all part of the fun when you’re living in a five hundred year old house in a mountain village. Between day trips to ancient festivals, exploring neighbouring cities and being smuggled into her friend’s school, Noor will need a holiday to recover from her holiday. Book 2 - Falafels and Bedouins It was supposed to be a stress-free holiday... A chance to see Israel's beauty and Petra's magnificence on a normal, safe group tour.

And then, that important detail about border crossing the travel agent forgot to mention. Will this adventure be more than Noor can handle? Book 3 - Christmas Lights and Carnevale Lost luggage and a missed train, but who cares? We’re in Spain! Six years ago Noor promised her grandma she would return to Italy, but this time she’s not coming alone. With her fiancé Andy, they’ll celebrate Christmas in Spain, shiver through Switzerland, Austria, Prague and put on costumes for the Carnevale in Venice. And of course, spend time with family and friends in Italy. It will be a magical adventure in a winter wonderland. Well, except for an unwelcome visit from ‘Mr. Flu’ and Venice flooding, but with Andy by her side they’ll have a happy holiday. Most of the time.

Download or read book Nomadic Food written by Jean Pierre Williot and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-10-10 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, contributors examine the many meanings of the term 'nomad' through the study of food habits. Food and beverage products have become just as nomadic as other objects, such as telephones and computers, whereas in the past only food and money were able to move about with their carriers. Food industries have seized control of this trend to make it the characteristic feature of consumption outside the home - always faster and more convenient, the just-in-time meal: 'what I want, when I want, where I want', snacks, finger food, and street food. The terms reveal the contemporary modernity and spread of food practices, but they are only modified versions of older and more uncommon forms of behavior. Mobility, in the sense of multiple forms of moving about using public or individual, and possibly intermodal, means of transport, on spatial scales and temporal rhythms which are frequent and recurring but variable, responding to professional or leisure needs, can serve as a basic premise in order to gain insight into the concept of food nomadism.

Download or read book An Unexpected Caliph written by Steven Derfler and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-07-15 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For millennia, people of faith around the world have viewed their religious texts as sacred, holy, and at times, even infallible when it comes to our understanding of our past. We have all used them as guidelines to chart our journeys on earth; not only regarding spirituality but also our relationship with other humans. Sometimes we use these letters written by our parent in heaven to assert our own ethnic or spiritual superiority over others. But as archaeologists and historians, religious scholars and scientists, have discovered through research, no one seems to have a lock on the truth or the perspective or the right holy way. Rather, this attitude has led to hatred, prejudice and violence as we all try to one-up everyone else. Imagine the consequences of the re-discovery of ancient manuscripts that support the notion of commonality- found in the homeland of World War IIs Third Reich, the idea that, regardless of religious belief, the best people rise to the top in an attempt to bring their society, their community, to the most civilized level possible. Imagine a set of documents that shows that ancient societies were more tolerant, and accepting, than todays world. And just imagine the impact that it might have in changing our world view- slowly, slowly as they say in the MidEast. DR. STEVEN L. DERFLER An international educational consultant, archaeologist, historian, researcher, teacher and writer, Dr. Derfler has been uncovering the histories of ancient civilizations for nearly 40 years. Tracing the development of western religions from their roots in the Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean countries, Dr. Derfler brings insight to current political and social events, bridging the past with the future to promote greater understanding between people from different faiths and walks of life. Dr. Derfler has been associated with institutions both in the Midwest and Israel; including Tel Aviv University's Institute of Archaeology, the Israeli Antiquities Authority, and The Negev Museum of Beersheva. Archaeological work in Israel has included serving as staff of Tel Sheva, Arad, Tel Michal and Tel Gerishe Expeditions, and as American director of the Nahal Yattir and Tel Keriot excavations. International study/travel programs under his aegis include Israel/Jordan/Turkey, Egypt, Morocco, Greece, and Cuba. In the Upper Midwest, he is director of Educational Resources, Inc and is a retired professor from the University of Wisconsin River Falls. He also works closely with the Renaissance Academy of Florida Gulf Coast University and other venues in Southwest Florida.
