Alimenta？？o e codifica？？o social. Mulheres, cozinha e estatuto

this article is grounded on a long-term fieldwork carried out in rural india (gujarat) with a group of dalit women (the term for which are designated the "old" untouchables of india) and, by extension, with women from other social groups. i intend to analyze how food production, distribution, and cooking operate both as a form of segregation and of women's assertion of power, particularly in situations related to fertility.
