About this book
Reviews
“This brilliantly innovative book explores the food-migration nexus and its multiple expressions both theoretically and empirically. Present in most transnational migration corridors and spaces worldwide, 'travelling food' has a diversity of meanings ranging from material exchange and consumption to kinship reinforcement, care, belonging and nostalgia. The book contains original ethnographic case studies based on the grounded approach to the anthropology of everyday experience, and should be essential reading for students, researchers and teachers interested in the under-appreciated role of food in transnational life.” (Russell King, Professor of Geography, University of Sussex, UK)
