The history of the Jewish people has been a history of migration.
Although Jews invariably brought with them their traditional ideas
about food during these migrations, just as invariably they engaged
with the foods they encountered in their new environments. Their
culinary habits changed as a result of both these migrations and
the new political and social realities they encountered. The
stories in this volume examine the sometimes bewildering
kaleidoscope of food experiences generated by new social contacts,
trade, political revolutions, wars, and migrations, both voluntary
and compelled. This panoramic history of Jewish food highlights its
breadth and depth on a global scale from Renaissance Italy to the
post-World War II era in Israel, Argentina, and the United States
and critically examines the impact of food on Jewish lives and on
the complex set of laws, practices, and procedures that constitutes
the Jewish dietary system and regulates what can be eaten, when,
how, and with whom. Global Jewish Foodways offers a fresh
perspective on how historical changes through migration,
settlement, and accommodation transformed Jewish food and customs.
