This interdisciplinary volume seeks to bring multiple fields together in order to investigate diaspora, food, and memory. 

This volume takes a multi-field approach to answer the following three questions:

 

  1. How do diasporic communities use food to navigate a relationship with their homeland? 

  1. In what ways do diasporic foodways sustain and/or rupture cultural legacies?

  1. What are the relationships between food and cultural memory?

Kazuo Ishiguro’s dystopian novel Klara and the Sun (2021) tells the story of an A.I.-powered “artificial friend” who serves as a companion to a young girl, Josie, a privileged child “lifted” in order to secure the best opportunities whilst resentful masses are left behind. Ishiguro’s novel extrapolates the economic and socio-cultural divisions that haunt our present moment to understand how digital technology engenders and exacerbates old and new socio-economic and cultural inequities, including access to education and medical healthcare.
