This book has transformed my own work and research. Anyone interested in food and religion, especially food and Christianity, should read this book. Covers the development of wheat production in the Americas and its connection to Eucharistic theology.

“Europeans envisioned a root-and-branch transformation of indigenous culture from one based on the worship of Lord Maize Cob to one built around a god made flesh in a wheaten wafer... [T]he transformations entailed in this vision were profoundly disquieting for colonists, priests and officials alike, for they implied, ultimately, the complete elision of the very differences that separated colonizers and colonized.”
