Keywords:
Rice, Solomon Islands, glocalization, eating habits, symbolism of foodAbstract
Introduced over 150 years ago, rice is now a staple food of urban Solomon Islanders. A reanalysis of the localization of rice is at the core of its glocalization in the Solomon Islands. Following a theoretical section on glocalization and neophilia, the article traces the history of rice in Solomon Islands through contact with Europeans. The article pays particular attention to changing foodscapes associated with urbanization and to the economic and symbolic dimensions of food exchange.Downloads
