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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eObject Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52929035010357,"sku":"EB_PH0400_J08-01_DUBAI","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0971\/7773\/1381\/files\/9781501307447-1.jpg?v=1789405631","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.ae\/ar\/products\/9781501307447","provider":"Books Kinokuniya UAE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
