This compelling volume brings together original essays that explore
the relationship between food and identity in everyday life in the
Caribbean. The Caribbean history of colonialism and migration has
fostered a dynamic and diverse form of modernity, which continues
to transform with the impact of globalization and migration out of
the Caribbean. One of the founders of the anthropology of food,
Richard Wilk provides a preface to this exciting and
interdisciplinary collection of essays offering insight into the
real issues of food politics which contribute to the culinary
cultures of the Caribbean. Based on rich contemporary
ethnographies, the volume reveals the ways in which food carries
symbolic meanings which are incorporated into the many different
facets of identity experienced by people in the Caribbean. Many of
the chapters focus on the ways in which consumers align themselves
with particular foods as a way of making claims about their
identities. Development and political and economic changes in the
Caribbean bring new foods to the contemporary dinner table, a
phenomenon that may subsequently destabilize the foundations of
culinary identities. "Food and Identity in the Caribbean" reveals
the ways in which some of the connections between food and identity
persist against the odds whilst in other contexts new relationships
between food and identity are forged.
