Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
To most of us the food that we associate with home our national and familial homes is an essential part of our cultural heritage. No matter how open we become to other cuisines, we regard homecooking as an intrinsic part of who we are. In this book, Krishnendu Ray examines the changing food habits of Bengali immigrants to the United States as they deal with the tension between their nostalgia for home and their desire to escape from its confinements. As Ray says, This is a story about rice and water and the violations of geography by history. Focusing on mundane matters of immigrant life (for example, what to eat for breakfast in America), he connects food choices to issues of globalization and modernization.By showing how Bengali immigrants decide what defines their ethnic cuisine and differentiates it from American food, he reminds us that such boundaries are uncertain for all newcomers.
