Are we what we eat? What does food reveal about how we live and how we think of ourselves in relation to others? And why do people have a strong attachment to their own cuisine and an aversion to the foodways of others? In this engaging account of the crucial significance rice has for the Japanese, "Rice as Self" examines how people use the metaphor of a principal food in conceptualizing themselves in relation to other people. Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney traces the changing contours that the Japanese notion of the self has taken as different historical Others - whether Chinese or Westerner - have emerged, and shows how rice and rice paddies have served as the vehicle for this deliberation. Using Japan as an example, she proposes a new cross-cultural model for the interpretation of the self and other.

一次宏大议题的尝试，重点不是食物，是去讨论神话、当下与历史的联结。

时代印记太重，结构主义的解释虽然吸引人，但是时不时还是觉得其中的论点果味武断，对于食物系统，尤其是东亚的食物系统，general argument很容易忽略实际生活中的多样性。但是有意思的还是对于稻田的空间时间意义，是比米本身还要重要的identity of self，而且其中的地理解释很有趣。
