Hungering for America: Italian, Irish, and Jewish Foodways in the Age of Migration
Hasia R. Diner
This book tells the stories of three groups and their unique culinary dramas. Italian immigrants transformed the food of their upper classes and of sacred days into a generic “Italian” food. Irish immigrants diminished food as a marker of ethnicity. And East European Jews found that dietary restrictions jarred with America’s boundless choices.
