This book is about Italian American women, food, identity, and our
stories at the table. This mother-daughter research team explores
how Italian American working-class women from Syracuse, New York
use food as a symbol and vehicle which carries multiple meanings.
In these narratives, food represents home, loss, and longing. Food
also stands in for race, class, gender, sexuality, immigration,
region, place, and space. The authors highlight how food is about
family and tradition, as well as choice and change. These women's
narratives reveal that food is related to celebration, love, power,
and shame. As this study centers on the intergenerational
transmission of culture, the authors' relationship mirrors these
questions as they contend with their similar and disparate
experiences and relationships with Italian American identity and
food. The authors use the "recipe" as a conversational bridge to
elicit narratives about identity and the self. They also encourage
readers to listen closely to the stories at their own tables to
consider how recipes and food are a way for us to claim who we are,
who we think we are, who we want to be, and who we are not.
