About this listen

In this episode of Everything is a Riot, the hosts, Mariya & Shangbie, alongside Haris discuss the communal and political importance of food, contrasting it with the rise of exclusionary fine dining.

The conversation examines how food can be a form of resistance and identity but also how it can be appropriated and commodified, losing its cultural significance. We critique the homogenization and westernization of diverse food cultures and highlight the violent nationalism linked to food politics.

The hosts underscore the power dynamics and racialized perspectives that shape food narratives and market demand, and call for reclaiming communal food practices as a form of cultural and political resistance.
