Description
"The Immigrant Kitchen: Food, Ethnicity, and Diaspora" is a comprehensive examination of food memoirs by immigrants and their descendants. This book explores how these memoirs use homemade food as a lens to express concerns about immigrant identity, as well as the assimilation and acculturation process in the United States. By combining personal anecdotes, recipes, cultural insights, and discussions about life away from their homeland, these memoirs illuminate the profound impact of immigration on individuals and their American-born families across generations.
