She also looks at the changing food and art cultures and the unique geography that has historically kept this weird hilly place isolated from trendy change. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Carefully researched, deeply personal, and politically grounded in place and identity, \u003ci\u003eHoming\u003c\/i\u003e is an explicitly feminist and anti-nostalgic intervention in writing about the Rustbelt. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSherrie Flick\u003c\/b\u003e is a senior lecturer in the MFA and food studies programs at Chatham University and a freelance writer and editor.
