Twitty brings a fresh perspective to our most divisive cultural issue, race, in this illuminating memoir of Southern cuisine and food culture that traces his ancestry--both black and white--through food, from Africa to America and from slavery to freedom. Southern food is integral to the American culinary tradition, yet the question of who "owns" it is one of the most provocative touchpoints in our ongoing struggles over race. In this unique memoir, Twitty takes readers to the white-hot center of this fight, tracing the roots of his own family and the charged politics surrounding the origins of soul food, barbecue, and all Southern cuisine. Twitty travels from the tobacco and rice farms of colonial times to plantation kitchens and backbreaking cotton fields to tell of the struggles his family faced and how food enabled his ancestors' survival across three centuries. He sifts through stories, recipes, genetic tests, and historical documents, and visits Civil War battlefields in Virginia, synagogues in Alabama, and black-owned organic farms in Georgia. As he takes us through his ancestral culinary history, Twitty suggests that healing may come from embracing the discomfort of the South's past. Along the way, he reveals a truth that is more than skin deep--the power of food to bring the kin of the enslaved and their former slaveholders to the table, where they can discover the real America together."--Jacket 650 0 $a African American cooking $x History. 650 0 $a Cooking, American $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History. $z Southern States $x History. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Genealogy. 650 0 $a Genetic genealogy. 650 6 $a Cuisine noire ameÌricaine $x Histoire. 650 6 $a Cuisine ameÌricaine du Sud $x Histoire. 650 6 $a Noirs ameÌricains $x Histoire. $z EÌtats-Unis (Sud) $x Histoire. 650 6 $a Noirs ameÌricains $v GeÌneÌalogies. 650 6 $a GeÌneÌalogie geÌneÌtique. 650 7 $a African American cooking. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01752736 650 7 $a African Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799558 650 7 $a Cooking, American $x Southern style. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01753233 650 7 $a Genetic genealogy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01748669 651 7 $a Southern States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244550 655 7 $a Family histories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919924 655 7 $a Genealogy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423818 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Family histories. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026100 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718093320.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DF1BD28E214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
