The Other Milk: Reinventing Soy in Republican China is a 2018 book by Jia-Chen Fu.[1][2][3]

Summary

[edit]

Fu explores how early 20th-century China, labeled the "Land of Famine," turned to soybean milk as a symbol of national growth and food security. The soybean, seen as a miracle crop in Europe and the U.S., became central to China's efforts to modernize its economy and improve nutrition. The competition between soybean milk and cow's milk reflected China's broader struggle with global modernity and imperialism, shaping its nutrition science and national identity.
