After giving birth to three children, Nell’s body begins to fail her. Her husband, concerned for her health, pulls away from her physically.

  • Author : Adrian Miller
  • Publisher : UNC Press Books
  • Release : 2013-08-15
  • ISBN : 1469607638
  • Pages : 352 pages

Download or read book Soul Food written by Adrian Miller and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2014 James Beard Foundation Book Award, Reference and Scholarship Honor Book for Nonfiction, Black Caucus of the American Library Association In this insightful and eclectic history, Adrian Miller delves into the influences, ingredients, and innovations that make up the soul food tradition. Focusing each chapter on the culinary and social history of one dish--such as fried chicken, chitlins, yams, greens, and "red drinks--Miller uncovers how it got on the soul food plate and what it means for African American culture and identity. Miller argues that the story is more complex and surprising than commonly thought. Four centuries in the making, and fusing European, Native American, and West African cuisines, soul food--in all its fried, pork-infused, and sugary glory--is but one aspect of African American culinary heritage. Miller discusses how soul food has become incorporated into American culture and explores its connections to identity politics, bad health raps, and healthier alternatives. This refreshing look at one of America's most celebrated, mythologized, and maligned cuisines is enriched by spirited sidebars, photographs, and twenty-two recipes.

Book Claim Tickets for Stolen People

Download or read book Claim Tickets for Stolen People written by Quintin Collins and published by Mad Creek Books. This book was released on 2022 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Claim Tickets for Stolen People, Quintin Collins embraces a range of poetic forms and registers to show the resilience of Blackness in a colonized world. The tension between mortality and vitality is ever-present, whether Collins is charting his daughter's emergence into being, cataloging the toll of white violence, or detailing the exuberance of community, family, and Chicago and Boston life. In Collins's hands, the world is exquisitely physical and no element is without its own perspective, whether it is a truck sheared by a highway bridge or bees working through the knowledge that humans will kill them, burn their homes, and steal their honey. All goes toward honoring Black grief, Black anger, Black resistance, Black hope--and the persistence of Black love.
