Document Summary
Food as nostalgia is important for diasporas: eating or making of food, the detail account of how things are bought and made, food preparation is a trigger for nostalgia. How the memories of the homeland are circulated through genealogical accountings: genealogy is a family tree but, genealogical accounting: is the ways in which the stories about how we got here are shaped and told. The how we got here stories represent modes of transportation. These stories have to do with technological arrivals. Process of transportation: ex: ships, trains Genealogy is different from a genealogical account: how we got here stories change over time. Now are no longer about the technology of travel but how about getting your papers. Visa stories : this is also part of the technology of travel, not to do with how they go there, but to get credit in order to travel.
