Review Quotes: "Digestible Governance offers a veritable buffet of compelling analyses of food as a political tool in modern and contemporary Spain. This volume centers often-overlooked stories--be they about emerging halal practices or cava and corpinnat--that reveal the profound role food culture plays in molding Iberian identities."
--Leigh Mercer, author of Urbanism and Urbanity: The Spanish Bourgeois Novel and Contemporary Customs (1845-1925)
