Omslag till Andrea S. Wiley: Cultures of Milk (ePUB)

Andrea Wiley contrasts the practices of the world’s leading milk producers, India and the United States. In both countries, milk is considered to have special qualities. Drawing on ethnographic and scientific studies, popular media, and government reports, she shows that the cultural significance of milk goes well beyond its nutritive value.
