Quotes by Mayukh Sen (?)

“Capitalism can encourage artists, including chefs and cookbook authors, to suppress parts of themselves to cater to the market’s desires. I started to see this book as a critique of capitalism: how it devalues labor to the point where it makes people into products, longevity in American memory contingent on your ability to sell yourself.”
― Mayukh Sen, Taste Makers: Seven Immigrant Women Who Revolutionized Food in America

“Today the culture sees the fact that she wasn’t a mascot of ethnic pride as a demerit rather than an invitation to understand how discriminatory this world once was.”
