Abstract

Marlene Epp's Eating Like a Mennonite: Food and Community Across Borders is a compelling study of how food mediates cultural, religious, and communal identities. Drawing from personal reflection, Epp reorients the reader's attention from "what" Mennonites ate to what food has meant for them throughout their historically migratory and diverse religious tradition.
