Halo-Halo Ecologies
The Emergent Environments behind Filipino Food
Edited by Alyssa Paredes and Marvin Joseph F. Montefrio
SERIES:
Food in Asia and the Pacific
University of Hawaii Press
The painful irony of this book is that along with the pride over the internationalization of Filipino cuisine (one strongly felt in the diaspora) is the suffering of those back home as corporate greed, militarism, and the genetic modification of food continue the ecological devastation of their foodways. This intrepid group of young scholars asks us to take a pause before consuming our halo-halo and consider the increasingly fraught histories behind this popular refreshment.
