The Converso community changed drastically during Yonah Toledano’s lifetime. Starting at the moment when the expulsion from Spain was first announced, “Almost one-third of the Jews became conversos because they feared the terrible dangers of travel, or out of love for a Christian, or they had achieved position and comfort they couldn’t bring themselves to renounce, or they had had enough of being despised” (37). Jews who refused to convert were threatened to be killed. Sometimes when a member of a Jewish family converted, their family would say the Kaddish for them as if they had died. The conversos were not usually treated as Old Christians were.
The first paragraph of “English Con Salsa” by Gina Valdes is crucial to the reader’s understanding of the title. She eloquently and humorously, states her frustration of forced assimilation to our culture. She takes a jab at the racial stereotypes, and what English they will be able to say such as “More coffee”? (Line7).

The film No Mas Bebes revealed shocking medical practices that took place in the 1960s and the 1960s in Los Angles. Young women being sterilized because of their ethnicity and culture was cruel and unusual punishment.

Zauner provides the reader with a deep understanding of famous Korean dishes cooked in Asian households and how each dish has its own cultural meaning, forming an experience to the reader in which they feel a connection to the food and an attachment to the familiar emotions evoked by Zauner. She attempts to begin forming a stronger bond with her mother and her Korean culture, cooking dishes familiar to Zauner like gyeranjjim, cream soup, and tteokguk, that resurface treasured memories shared between the two. Her determination in comforting her mother with dishes that taste like home was futile because of the lack of appetite her mother was experiencing due to cancer. Her mother’s rejection to her home-cooked Korean dishes caused Zauner to feel distant from her mother, no longer feeling the bond once shared of Korean food between the two. Zauner transcends to the reader the emotional tie between food and identity as she felt disconnected from her Korean heritage.

As I walked into Gringo’s a week ago, I observed the warm welcome, as the hostess welcomed me into Gringo’s. After only fifteen minutes of waiting, I was accompanied to my table. The restaurant was well decorated as there were paintings on the wall, along with the deer horns. I received a great vibe just by being there. After a few minutes, I was served with some free chips and dips.
