Abstract "This volume addresses the unique relationship between the American dream and the manifold ways in which food and food-related topics support and expand upon elements that constitute the American dream. The contributors discuss instances in which Americans of one heritage or another attempt to find freedom and fashion a life for themselves and a uniquely American identity. Through various forms of literature - novels, short stories, cookbooks, and memoirs - these essays explore the American Dream through a myriad of cultures, food, and their intertwined meanings"-- Provided by publisher.
