Summary/Abstract: I review Gastropolítica: una mirada alternativa al auge de la cocinaperuana (2023) by María Elena García, focusing on her interpretationof the Peruvian gastronomic boom as a historical process that, while pursuingnational resurgence, maintains class, race and gender structures rootedin the coloniality of power. García explores the actions of gastropoliticalelites and the subaltern subjects who develop forms of resistance and negotiation,while also considering interspecies relations.
