About this book
Julia Hauser explores the global history of vegetarianism from the mid-nineteenth century to the early Cold War. She demonstrates that vegetarians in India and the West shared notions of purity, which drew some toward not only internationalism and anticolonialism but also racism, nationalism, and violence.

Reviews
Paul Nolte, Free University Berlin:
Central today to many modern lifestyles and movements, vegetarianism is in fact rooted in a deep history, now masterfully explored by Julia Hauser. Rich in detail, often surprising, and written in clear prose, this study is sure to challenge established notions of West and East, modern and traditional, left and right. Much food for thought!

Benjamin Siegel, author of Hungry Nation: Food, Famine, and the Making of Modern India:
Vegetarianism’s political and ecological imperatives have long wanted for a historian capable of excavating their roots. Julia Hauser offers an electric, wholly original account of the nationalist and international politics, racial paradigms, and unexpected encounters between German, Swiss, American, and Indian thinkers as they crafted modern vegetarianism’s moral stance.
