Jessica Ryan, Scholarly Communications Librarian, highlights an item in ScholarWorks each month.
The long season of food, glorious food, is upon us, so for this month’s What Am I Reading in ScholarWorks? enjoy this delightful and thought-provoking essay by Professor Emerita of Italian Studies, Giovanna Bellesia, “Comfort Food, Acquired Taste, and Fusion Cuisine: A Migrant Journey.”
How does food, and the food we choose to eat reflect our sense of who we are and where we understand ourselves to belong? From the humorous, yet truly psychosociological insight afforded by how we consume coffee, to the immigrant’s complex relationship with their adopted country and former homeland, the food we eat is strikingly revealing of one’s internal compass of who and where they are, where they came from, and where they are going. A fascinating area of study and a delicious read! Salute!
