Food and the Ambiguities of Identity

This May, as part of Fridays @ KCC Library, we have Dr Utsa Ray, Assistant Professor of History, Jadavpur University delivering a talk on the unique culinary culture of Bengal as developed by the Bengali colonial middle class. In focus in her book Culinary Culture in Colonial India: A Cosmopolitan Platter and the Middle Class published by Cambridge University Press in 2015.

Join us to know more about the relationship among taste, class, caste, gender, and geography, and how deftly the middle class adopted and tweaked features of the British colonial modernity to suit its needs!
