According to Massimo Montanari, this is just a myth: by themselves, origins explain very little and historical phenomena can only be understood dynamically--by looking at how events and identities develop and change as a result of encounters and combinations that are often unexpected. As Montanari shows in this lively, brilliant, and surprising essay, all you need to debunk the "origins myth" is a plate of spaghetti. By tracing the history of the one of Italy's "national dishes"--from Asia to America, from Africa to Europe; from the beginning of agriculture to the Middle Ages and up to the 20th century--he shows that in order to understand who we are (our identity) we almost always need to look beyond ourselves to other cultures, peoples, and traditions."--Amazon. 650 0 $a Food habits $x History. 650 0 $a Cooking (Pasta) $x History. 650 0 $a Food $x History. $x History. 700 1 $a Conti, Gregory, $d 1952- $e translator. 941 $a 5 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010030536.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20221129011351.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804024506.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20220104010631.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211117010803.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2C16D246477411EC81CA9FE82DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
