Sushi Daisuki! The California Roll and (Mis)Located Japan

Panel: 
Food and Culture I: Between Local Identities and Transnational Perspectives
Abstract: 

This paper examines sushi as a symbol of border transcendence which crosses cultural, linguistic and socioeconomic landscapes. Sushi, as it has been transformed in America (particularly in California), serves as both a window into and a barrier against understanding Japanese culture.
