Recenzje

'… well written and carefully researched … Treitel's examination of the discourse on eating naturally challenges our understanding of biopolitics by arguing that biopolitics is the result of both popular impulse to self-rule as well as authoritarian attempts to coerce and as such is coproduced by laypeople and experts.' Gesine Gerhard, The Journal of Modern History
