Reviews

'A path-breaking volume which brings together experts from a variety of disciplines to explore the ways in which Britain's minorities approach the issue of food. This is a timely and important contribution to our understanding of a relatively neglected aspect of British life - a contribution which ranges across both time and space.' John Eade, University of Surrey, Roehampton, UK 'Combining both historical and contemporary research, this volume fills an important gap in migration literature.' Steven Vertovec, ESRC Centre on Migration, Policy and Society, University of Oxford, UK
