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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51979415453984,"sku":"NEW1501307444","price":17.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/bread-object-lessons-1501307444","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
