Aprašymas
Getting What We Need Ourselves: How Food Has Shaped African American Life traces the history of African American food habits from West African origins through the twenty-first century, offering a unique set of insights into the daily concerns of black people in the US. Throughout time, black Americans have utilized food as a nonverbal means of expressing an evolving set of social, cultural, and political concerns. Using food as a prism for examining familiar epochs in African American history, the book will chronicle the fight against hunger, documenting, for example, the innovative techniques enslaved people used to augment minimal and monotonous rations, the skillful ways that freed people used food knowledge to form entrepreneurial ventures, and the persistence with which twentieth-century black activists framed food access as a civil rights issue. Furthermore, the book will demonstrate that from capture and enslavement through emancipation, the civil rights movement, and beyond, African American have embraced an understanding of the importance of food that goes beyond merely having enough to eat. Black Americans have used ideas about proper food habits both to strengthen and to lessen cultural ties with Africa, to enforce and to break down class barriers within the black community, and to embrace and to critique the American political system.
ORIGINAL TITLE: Tomorrow I'll Be at the Table (a title taken from Langston Hughes's poem, "I, Too, Sing America") : African American Food Culture from Slavery to the Present
