  • The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

With the added impetus of a ISE listing in 1897, the new brewing company showed steady growth, buying hotels and other licensed outlets to expand the distribution network. The second stage of SAWs development started in the 1960's with a move into wines and spirits and the moulding of its hotel investments into a regenerated industry. By the 1970's, however, legal constraints made it imperative for SAB to broaden its investment base away from liquor. Due to SAWs affinity with a broad spectrum of consumers, the third stage of SAWs evolution involved the acquisition of significant mass market manufacturing and retailing investments and the inclusion of soft drinks and fruit juices in the Group's range of beverages.
