I have not seen mention of Hasia Diner's book... Hungering for America: Italian, Irish, and Jewish Foodways in the Age of Migration. By Hasia R. Diner. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 2001 The book was widely reviewed and there are extracts on Amazon and Google Books. The broad outline is that people flee hunger, and specific hungers, to re-invent national food ways in the USA. The study of hunger and famine of course adds a new level of complexity. And the historiography of the Irish Famine is still contentious. But it is noteworthy that The Great Hunger: Ireland 1845-1849 by Cecil Woodham-Smith Is most probably the most successful history book ever - first published in 1962 and still in print.
