As the only Asian family in a tiny township, Furiya's life revolved around Japanese food and the extraordinary lengths her parents went to in order to gather the ingredients needed to prepare it. As immigrants, her parents approached the challenges of living in America, and maintaining their Japanese diets, with optimism and gusto. Furiva, meanwhile, was acutely aware of how food set her apart from her peers: She spent her first day of school hiding in the girls' restroom, examining her rice balls and chopsticks, and longing for a Peanut Bullter and Jelly sandwich. Bento Box in the Heartland is an insightful and reflective coming-of-age tale. Beautifully written, each chapter is accompanied by a family recipe of mouth-watering Japanese comfort food. 000452648 60010 $$aFuriya, Linda$$xChildhood and youth. 000452648 60010 $$aFuriya, Linda$$xFamily. 000452648 650_0 $$aJapanese Americans$$zIndiana$$zVersailles$$vBiography. 000452648 650_0 $$aJapanese Americans$$zIndiana$$zVersailles$$xSocial life and customs. 000452648 650_0 $$aCooking, Japanese$$xSocial aspects$$zIndiana$$zVersailles. 000452648 650_0 $$aRacism$$zMiddle West$$vCase studies. 000452648 650_0 $$aJapanese Americans$$xCultural assimilation$$zMiddle West$$vCase studies. 000452648 651_0 $$aVersailles (Ind.)$$vBiography. 000452648 651_0 $$aVersailles (Ind.)$$xSocial life and customs. 000452648 651_0 $$aMiddle West$$xRace relations$$vCase studies. 000452648 85200 $$bgen$$hF534.V34$$iF87$$i2006 000452648 85641 $$3Table of contents$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip071/2006030696.html 000452648 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0712/2006030696-d.html 000452648 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:452648$$pGLOBAL_SET 000452648 980__ $$aBIB 000452648 980__ $$aBOOK
