Encounters between people from different cultures do not lead to a simple adaptation of the diet, but usually give rise to some kind of fusion of new and indigenous food habits.The author questions the relationship between what Nigerian migrants in the diaspora eat, their self-perception and how they engage with outsiders. Starting with a historical introduction about the country, this study examines what aspects of the Nigerian food culture is retained and what has changed. This is reflected by the dynamics in the Nigerian homes, especially the gender roles.The new generation of Nigerians, who see Belgium as home, also hang on to a Nigerian diet that remains not only an important part of who they are, but is also used in the creation of cultural boundaries and group identities. However, the influence of the new environment is very present because each diaspora community, wherever and whenever, must adapt. Skills such as language and social norms are indeed necessary to survive in the new environment. Yet, food plays a prominent role: on the one hand, it contributes to the affirmation of Nigerian feelings, and on the other hand, food serves as a means of communication with the host country. 410 0$aCollection "L'Europe alimentaire" ;$vVolume 9. 606 $aImmigrants$zBelgium 610 $aBelgium 610 $aDiaspora 610 $aDuru 610 $aFood 610 $aFood and identity 610 $aIdentity 610 $aMigrants 610 $aMigration in Belgium 610 $aNigerian 610 $aNigerian diaspora 610 $aNigerian foodway in Belgium 610 $aNigerian Migrants 615 0$aImmigrants 676 $a949.3 700 $aDuru$b Maureen$0897917 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910490030903321 996 $aDiaspora, food and identity$92006114 997 $aUNINA
