  • Baltimore's Eastern European Jewish
    ABSTRACT Title of thesis: A CONSUMING HERITAGE: BALTIMORE’S EASTERN EUROPEAN JEWISH IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY AND THEIR EVOLVING FOODWAYS, 1880-1939 Charlotte Louise Sturm, Master of Arts, 2013 Thesis directed by: Professor Lisa R. Mar Department of History This study explores how Baltimore’s Eastern European Jewish immigrants and their American-born children engaged with American foodways during the period 1880- 1939. Food-related charitable aid and food education were used as tools of Americanization and moral uplift by public health officials, middle-class charitable workers, and social reformers between 1880 and 1920. The home economics classrooms of Baltimore’s public schools continued this work in the early twentieth century, teaching the immigrants’ American-born children lessons about food and middle-class domesticity. Although somewhat influential in reshaping the immigrants’ food habits, the Eastern European Jewish immigrants and their children largely retained their traditional foodways, making their own choices about how to adopt American foodways. Interconnected issues of food, health, economics, middle-class domesticity, citizenship, and identity are evident in this study. Using sources such as cookbooks and oral histories, this study demonstrates how foodways expressed and continue to express Jewish, American, and Jewish American identities.

  • American Jewish Foodways in Modern Literature
    American Jewish Foodways in Modern Literature: Navigating Old World and New World Identities MA Thesis Literature Today, Utrecht University Luca Jansen 5611090 18 October 2020 Supervisor: Dr. Frank Brandsma Second reader: Dr. Paul Bijl 21.577 words Jansen 2 Figure 1: “Challah bread” (Cottonbro) Jansen 3 Abstract This study is an exploration of the usefulness of food studies for mainstream literature studies. Through a case study of American Jewish foodways it is demonstrated how literary analysis could benefit from analyzing food. Building on existing work from the fields of literature and food studies and (American) Jewish food studies, it asks: What is the function of food within the literary American Jewish narrative? Selected literary works from various genres are analyzed in order to see how American Jewish foodways are relevant for both the story and the audience in those texts. Three themes, which are recurring features in the works discussed here, are analyzed. The first theme is that of immigrant struggles with balancing loyalty to traditions from the Old World and adapting to society in the United States. The second theme deals with coming to terms with an identity that is both American and Jewish. The third theme explores food as a means to reconnect with lost or neglected heritage. The results indicate that food has a multitude of functions in the literature on, by, or related to American Jews and enriches our understanding of American Jewish identity, while at the same time it brings to light universal experiences such as food as power and food as communication. This is relevant because this confirms the potential of food as a widely used factor in literary analysis.
