Reseña del libro "Bread (Object Lessons) (en Inglés)"

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Bread is an object that, throughout the myriad details of its manufacture and social existence, is always in process of becoming something else: flower to grain, grain to dough, dough to loaf, loaf to crumb. Bread is also often a figure or vehicle of social cohesion: from the homely image of ?breaking bread together? to the mysteries of the Eucharist. But bread also commonly figures in social conflict - sometimes literally, in the ?bread riots? that punctuate European history, and sometimes figuratively, in the ways bread operates as ethnic, religious or class signifier. Drawing on a wide range of sources, from the scriptures to modern pop culture, Bread tells the story of how this ancient and everyday object serves as a symbol for both social communion and social exclusion. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
