- Title
MY GRANDMOTHER'S COOKBOOK: A PERSONAL HISTORY OF MIGRATION.
- Authors
Balint, Ruth
- Abstract
I inherited my grandmother's cookbook after she died, and it gave me a new way to learn about her life in Australia. It was more than a collection of recipes. It was her working manual, her creative manual, her intellectual manual, her scrapbook for both the intimate and the everyday, a record of her dreams, her struggles and her achievements. It also revealed a wider history of a migrant woman, a refugee, in a country hostile to and fearful of foreigners, and the everyday ways she negotiated these encounters.
