FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

Moving Meals and Migrating Mothers: Culinary cultures, diasporic dishes and familial foodways explores the complex interplay between the important global issues of food, families and migration. We have an introduction and twelve additional chapters which we have organised into three parts: Part I Moving Meals, Markets and Migrant Mothers; Part II Migrating Mothers Performing Identity through Moving Meals; Part III Meanings and Experiences of Migrant Maternal Meals. Although these parts are not mutually exclusive, they are meant to emphasize socio-cultural and economic considerations of migration (Part I), the food itself (Part II) and families (Part III). We have a wide geographic representation, including Europe (Ireland and France), the USA, Canada, New Zealand, and Korea. In addition, we have contributors from all stages of career, including full professors, as well recent doctoral graduates. Overall the contributions are interdisciplinary, and therefore use a variety of methodologies, although most make use of traditional social sciences methods, including interviews and ethnographic observations.

Review

This volume builds on the important idea that ethnic cultural practices clash with the mainstream in situations of migration by exploring themes of nutrition, religion, survival, resistance, autonomy, patriarchy and biomedical hegemony, among others. Particularly timely is the research pertaining to mothers navigating the challenges of combining nutrition with cultural norms leading to the conclusion that the Westernization of local diets has not only led to the consumption of fewer nutrients but also to the devaluation of cultural practices, for which women are often blamed. A highly engaging read that portrays food as a sight of reproduction and empowerment for migrant women, this book is truly significant to women's studies, anthropologists, and transnational feminist migration scholars. - Dr. Anna Kuroczycka Schultes, immigration scholar, co-editor of The Migrant Maternal: Birthing New Lives Abroad // Moving Meals and Migrant Mothers is a fascinating volume that brings together the feminist analysis of motherhood and food studies with scholarship in globalization, migration, and transnational studies. The contributors examine how food, infant feeding, home cooking, and identity are affected by diaspora, migration, and globalized foodways, providing insights into how the labor surrounding food remains gendered—and asking what this means for the mothers who prepare food, cultivate culture, and nourish and feed family. - Heather Hewett is an associate professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and an affiliate of the Department of English at the State University of New York at New Paltz.
