Abstract
In the context of immigration, immigrants’ foodways in their country of origin meet those practiced in the host country, causing transformations in food practices. This research focuses on the hybridization practices carried out by Brazilian immigrants who develop small businesses in the food sector in Lyon, France. Motivated by their cooking skills, the income, and the desire to offer their country’s cuisine, they start up their own food-related small businesses. To benefit from a large clientele, they combine Brazilian products and dishes with the French culinary model, as much as they combine the entrepreneurial formalism in France with the jeito brasileiro (“Brazilian way”) of doing business. Their practices allow us to understand the forms in which hybridization operates and its consequences.
期刊介绍:
Food and Foodways is a refereed, interdisciplinary, and international journal devoted to publishing original scholarly articles on the history and culture of human nourishment. By reflecting on the role food plays in human relations, this unique journal explores the powerful but often subtle ways in which food has shaped, and shapes, our lives socially, economically, politically, mentally, nutritionally, and morally. Because food is a pervasive social phenomenon, it cannot be approached by any one discipline. We encourage articles that engage dialogue, debate, and exchange across disciplines.
