Food for Health, Food for Wealth

Examining the intersection of food, health, and identity, this study focuses on British Sh'ite Iranians and their unique consumption practices. It highlights how the nutritional and symbolic aspects of food influence health and reinforce gender and ethnic identities in both public and private settings. Additionally, the research reveals how migration alters these identities, leading to the emergence of hybrid cultures and cuisines. Through this lens, the book contributes to broader discussions in sociology and anthropology regarding globalization and cultural production.
