Scholastic Review of Food, Memory, and Identity

Food is more than nutrition; it has veritable socio-cultural meanings, and it encapsulates all manner of associations. This chapter reviews several experiences of migrants that are relevant, using different approaches, creating a link between food, identity, and memory of migrants as well as looking at the sequential movement of food and its interactions by reviewing extant literatures in the global and African contexts. Migration and migrants are evident across the borders of countries around the universe. It was revealed that migrants are encumbered with different experiences-accepting and repelling in the course of migration, as it is glaring that there is a conglomerate between food, memory, and identity.
