Ruža Fotiadis, Vladimir Ivanović and Radina Vučetić (eds.): Brotherhood and Unity at the Kitchen Table: Food in Socialist Yugoslavia. Zagreb: Srednja Europa 2019. ISBN 9789538281112


An illuminative way to approach the history of Yugoslav society is to look into the kitchens and cooking pots and to ask which dishes and beverages typically appeared on the table on a daily basis. This book, entitled Brotherhood and Unity at the Kitchen Table: Food Culture in So - cialist Yugoslavia, does precisely that. [... ] The contributions in this volume convey an impres - sion of what might have constituted “Yugoslav” commonalities “at the kitchen table” and also exemplify what kind of “common sociality” in the eating culture might have transcended all kinds of political or societal “cleavages” that have increasingly become the main or only focus in many studies about “political Yugoslavia”.
