Food, Immigration and, Identity: Exploring the Preservation of Mexican Food Culture
- Description
- This video is an analysis of the effects of immigration on Mexican food culture. The interview features Dave who immigrated to Canada 8 years ago from Mexico. The struggles that immigrants face in terms of finding their native food is discussed. As immigration has increased, the popularity of Mexican food has too, but is the food that has reached all corners of the world authentic in the eyes of a native Mexican? The consensus leads towards no. Popular chains such as Taco Bell and Chipotle distort the world’s view of Mexican Food. There must be an effort on behalf of the consumer to learn more about the culture and what the food means to the average native Mexican. It is vital to understand this in order to increase the appreciation and decrease the misappropriation of cultures in the world. In order to continue growing global culture without fueling stereotypes there must be an increase in communication and understanding on a personal level.
