Summary
Object Lessons is a series of short books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.
Taco is a deep dive into the most iconic Mexican food from the perspective of a Mexico City native. In a narrative that moves from Mexico to the United States and back, Sánchez Prado discusses the definition of the taco, the question of the tortilla and the taco shell, and the existence of the taco as a modern social touchstone that has been shaped by history and geography.
Challenging the idea of centrality and authenticity, Sánchez Prado shows instead that the taco is a contemporary, transcultural food that has always been subject to transformation.©2025 Prof. Ignacio M. Sánchez Prado (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc
