Albena Shkodrova, KU Leuven, Begium

Albena Shkodrova shows how many women in communist Bulgaria passionately exchanged recipes to build substantial private collections, a borderline contraband activity under a regime where home cooking was considered household slavery and an agent of patriarchalism. Drawing on primary sources, including scrapbook cookbooks, and working from the establishment of cookery classes before communism to their obliteration thereafter, Shkodrova highlights the meaning behind recipe exchange and home cooking for Bulgarian women under the communist regime.

Inventing the Third World

In Search of Freedom for the Postwar Global South Edited by Jeremy Adelman, Princeton University, USA & Gyan Prakash, Princeton University, USA The end of the Second World War and the eclipse of empires brought a wave of efforts to reimagine the future world order. When nation states emerging from colonial rule met at Bandung to chart alternative destinies and challenge global inequalities, they were reimagining a new world order; less hierarchical, more pluralistic and more distributive. This volume considers the alternative visions put forth by the third world at the close of WWII to recover their world-changing aspirations as well as its cultural and intellectual breakthroughs.
