This study explores the importance of these themes as they intersect with processes of globalization and cultural production within a specific group of consumers, British Sh'ite Iranians. Through the analysis of the consumption practices of this particular migrant group, this book illustrates how both the nutritional value and symbolic significance of food contribute to its health-giving properties and how gender and ethnic identities are preformed and reinforced through the medium of food-work in public and private spheres. At the same time, as this study demonstrates, migration modifies and transfigures such identities and produces hybrid cultures and cuisines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Figures\u003cbr\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1. \u003c\/strong\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2. \u003c\/strong\u003eAnthropological Approaches to the Study of Food and Consumption\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/strong\u003e Food, the Body and Taste\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4. \u003c\/strong\u003eNutritious and Delicious: Iranian Women and their Domestic Food-work\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5. \u003c\/strong\u003eFood and Health: Traditional and Modern Influences\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6. \u003c\/strong\u003eIncorporation, Identity and Health\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7. \u003c\/strong\u003eFood for Wealth: Iranian Entrepreneurs in the Fast-Food Trade\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 8. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Restaurant Trade and the Invisibility of Iranian Cuisine\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 9. \u003c\/strong\u003ePerforming Gender: Men, women and Food\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 10. \u003c\/strong\u003eWomen, Food and Power\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 11.\u003c\/strong\u003e Childhood, Acculturation and Food\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 12. \u003c\/strong\u003ePick N’ Mix Cultures: Youth, Food and Identities\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 13.\u003c\/strong\u003e Conclusion\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eAppendix:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brief Methodological Details\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tBibliography\u003cbr\u003e \tIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041425457495,"sku":"9781571816344","price":22.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781571816344.jpg?v=1750950225","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/food-for-health-food-for-wealth-ethnic-and-gender-identities-in-british-iranian-communities-9781571816344","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
