Beyond authentic curry and halal kebobs: Pakistani immigrants, intersectionality and culinary consumption
Identity maintenance for Pakistani immigrant women is at least three-fold. Through food, not only are women able to maintain an imagined “authentic” desi, and often Muslim identity, but also a gendered ideal of desi womanhood in the diaspora. Based on ethnographic fieldwork and interviews in Chicago, this project applies intersectionality and adds religion as an important framework for understanding culinary consumption in South Asian immigrant communities.
