In the particular case of postcolonial literature, cultural markers such as food, clothing, rituals etc., act as powerful tools of sociocultural representation. In All Decent Animals (2013) and Buxton Spice (1998), Oonya Kempadoo posits the characters as the embodiments of various levels of association with the traditional culinary practices thereby showing their differential sense of cultural rootedness against the multicultural milieu of the novels’ settings. The study aims to extract such instances from the novels that show the impact of food culture in the creation of a common memory, hearkening back to the shared history of the characters. The authors concluded, that something as mundane as food occupies a pivotal role in co-navigating the characters’ journey from self-doubt to self-acceptance. The effect of food culture in eliciting an inclination towards one’s ethnic roots is considered, while also touching upon the matter of developing a sense of cultural, familial and individual identity by means of foodways.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Роль культуры питания в формировании коллективной идентичности остается незаменимой, учитывая, что она является результатом последовательной и длительной практики соответствующего населения. В конкретном случае постколониальной литературы культурные маркеры, такие как еда, одежда, ритуалы и т. д., выступают в качестве мощных инструментов социокультурной репрезентации. В книгах «Все достойные животные» (2013) и «Бакстон Спайс» (1998) Уния Кемпаду позиционирует персонажей как воплощение различных уровней ассоциации с традиционными кулинарными практиками, тем самым демонстрируя их различное чувство культурной укорененности на фоне мультикультурной среды, в которой разворачивается действие. Цель исследования - извлечь из романов примеры, показывающие влияние культуры питания на создание общей памяти, возвращая внимание к общей истории персонажей. Выявлено, что, несмотря на кажущуюся обыденность, еда играет ключевую роль в совместном путешествии персонажей от неуверенности в себе к самопринятию. Изучено влияние культуры еды на формирование склонности к своим этническим корням. Рассмотрен вопрос развития чувства культурной, семейной и индивидуальной идентичности в сфере кулинарной практики.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Caribbean literature</kwd><kwd>foodways</kwd><kwd>multiculturalism</kwd><kwd>Foodways</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>карибская литература</kwd><kwd>культура питания</kwd><kwd>мультикультурализм</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Beushausen, W., Brüske, A., Commichau, A., Helber, P., &amp; Kloß, S.
