Remembrance of repasts: An anthropology of food and memory

This book offers atheoretical account of the interrelationship of culture, food and memory. The author challenges and expands anthropology´ s current focus on issues of embodiment, memory and material culture, especially in relatin to transnational migration and the flow of cultures across borders and boundaries. The Greek island of Kalymnos in the eastern Aegean, where Islanders claim to remember meals long past provides the main setting for these issues.
