Food is an intrinsic part of modern consumer society. In studies of migration food not only sustains the migrant on both the real and metaphorical journey from home to elsewhere, it also provides a bridge between the familiar and the unfamiliar. Food in the Migrant Experience is written by leading academics in the fields of migration, economics, nutrition, medicine and history and will be essential reading for all those engaged in the study of migration.
