FOOD CONNECTIONS: PRODUCTION, EXCHANGE AND CONSUMPTION IN WEST AFRICAN MIGR= ATION

Dr Maria Abranches (University of East Anglia)

with Prof Emma Gilberthorpe (University of East Anglia) as chair Dr Michelle C. Johnson (Bucknell University) as discussant

Food and migration are two central domains in West African economic and soc= ial life. Surprisingly, however, they have rarely been examined in combinat= ion in anthropological studies of Africa or African migration. Food Connect= ions offers a unique understanding of the effects of food movement from its= production sites in West Africa to its final spaces of consumption in Euro= pe. By ethnographically following that movement and the close-knit communit= y of food producers, traders, consumers and a wide range of small intermedi= aries in Guinea-Bissau and in Portugal, the book unveils important meanings= and practices of food that are materialised in the various phases of the m= ovement, and the connections that transnational processes of food productio= n, exchange and consumption generate between two lifeworlds.


The book is published by Berghahn Books and can be purchased here: https://= www.berghahnbooks.com/title/AbranchesFood Berghahn is kindly offering a special discount for the book to event attend= ees, which we will share during the event.


Best wishes, Hanine
