Write two or three paragraphs reflecting on the readings from these week, based around the themes of
globalisation, religion and food. You will need to refer to at least two of the essential readings and at least one
of the further readings, though you can refer to more if you would like. You can choose to focus on either food
OR religion for your diary, and draw on relevant readings. Make sure that you include the author's surname and
the date of the publication in your reading diary, and the page number if you are quoting directly.
You can focus your diary entry around the following questions, or write your own reflection if you would prefer:
What is the author's view on globalisation?
What does the author identify as an issue that requires further attention?
What does the piece suggest about the relationship between postcolonialism and globalisation?
