Refugees, unlike economic migrants, are forced to leave their countries of origin or are driven out by violence or persecution. As these individuals and their families struggle to adapt to a new culture, the kitchen often becomes one of the few places where they are able to return \"home.\" Preparing native cuisine is one way they can find comfort in an unfamiliar land, retain their customs, reconnect with their past, and preserve a sense of identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eFlavors from Home\u003c\/i\u003e, Aimee Zaring shares fascinating and moving stories of courage, perseverance, and self-reinvention from Kentucky's resettled refugees. Each chapter features a different person or family and includes carefully selected recipes. These traditional dishes have nourished both body and soul for people like Huong \"CoCo\" Tran, who fled South Vietnam in 1975 when Communist troops invaded Saigon, or Kamala Pati Subedi, who was stripped of his citizenship and forced out of Bhutan because of political and religious persecution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether shared at farmers' markets, restaurants, community festivals, or simply among friends and neighbors, these native dishes contribute to the ongoing evolution of American comfort food just as the refugees themselves are redefining what it means to be American. Featuring more than forty recipes from around the globe, \u003ci\u003e Flavors from Home\u003c\/i\u003e reaches across the table to explore the universal language of food.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aimee Zaring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081316091X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813160917\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Kentucky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/09\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.81h x 6.64w x 0.94d","brand":"Aimee Zaring","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46602992779519,"sku":"9780813160917","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_72dc7d22-29d0-46cc-987e-3201b772c554.jpg?v=1739695883","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/flavors-from-home-aimee-zaring-9780813160917","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
