초록

This essay attempts to explain food and immigrant assimilation in early twentieth-century America by focusing on how American society “fed” immigrants. While previous scholarship discussed the history of accepting and appropriating immigrant food in the United States, it delves into the American perspective of immigrants and food and the ways in which immigrants’ consumption of food was interpreted. During their journey to an immigration station and to a final destination, immigrants sustained themselves with food, both familiar and strange, and got to experience real America in the midst of debates over what kind of food they could and should have. After they settled in the United States, food became a means through which to demonstrate their degree of assimilation and Americanization; now, what and how to eat was the most important matter in measuring immigrants’ desirability. This essay analyzes contemporary newspaper articles that dealt with debates over food at the Ellis Island Immigration Station, and social reformer Michael M. Davis’s 1921 book, Immigrant Health and the Community. These sources reveal that “recipes for immigrants” were indeed a tool to discipline and educate the newcomers to American society.

Abstract

This essay attempts to explain food and immigrant assimilation in early twentieth-century America by focusing on how American society “fed” immigrants. While previous scholarship discussed the history of accepting and appropriating immigrant food in the United States, it delves into the American perspective of immigrants and food and the ways in which immigrants’ consumption of food was interpreted. During their journey to an immigration station and to a final destination, immigrants sustained themselves with food, both familiar and strange, and got to experience real America in the midst of debates over what kind of food they could and should have. After they settled in the United States, food became a means through which to demonstrate their degree of assimilation and Americanization; now, what and how to eat was the most important matter in measuring immigrants’ desirability. This essay analyzes contemporary newspaper articles that dealt with debates over food at the Ellis Island Immigration Station, and social reformer Michael M. Davis’s 1921 book, Immigrant Health and the Community. These sources reveal that “recipes for immigrants” were indeed a tool to discipline and educate the newcomers to American society.
