Convivência: Uma solução para a tensão de halal/carne de porco na Espanha?

Abstract: This work illuminates the connection between foodways and identity forging in Spain’s migration con­text. The concern of Moroccan and Pakistani Muslims over maintaining halal food practices conflicts with Spain’s reliance on and celebration of Iberian ham. This “two food cultures conflict,” which I con­ceptualize as a halal/pork binary, can be traced back to the 15th century Spanish reconquista. However, Moroccan restaurateurs’ current revival of the convivencia (coexistence) narrative, their emphasis on a collective Andaluzi identity, and tapasization and halalization of Moroccan-Muslim and Spanish foo­dways are possible solutions to this tension. This identity work in the restaurant allows them to reconcile the cultural, religious, and gastronomic tensions between Muslims and non-Muslims in Spain and rewri­tes halal foodways into the Spanish foodscape.
