Culinary Nationalism in Latin America: Inaugural Talk

Marie-Danielle Demas of the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement en Bolivia (and of the Sorbonne) got the conference off to an exc ellent start with an overview of nationalism and theories thereof during the past couple of centuries. Any fear that the conference might take a simplistic approach to this has been dealt with.  A French perspective (Febvre not Gellner and Anderson) but all the more interesting for that.  And lots about the particular course of nationalism in Latin America.  Now on to food.  Photo uploads later.
