Savage Barbecue: Race, Culture, and the Invention of America's First Food
ISBN: 9780820331096 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Barbecue is a word that means different things to different people. It can be a verb or a noun. It can be pulled pork or beef ribs. And, especially in the American South, it can cause intense debate and stir regional pride.

ISBN: 9780820325620 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Ever since slaves in America labored to produce food surfeit while enduring personal food shortage, says Andrew Warnes, African American writers have consistently drawn connections between hunger and illiteracy, and by extension between food and reading. This book investigates the juxtaposition of malnutrition and spectacular food abundance as a key trope of African American writing. Focusing on works by Zora Neale Hurston, Richard Wright, and Toni Morrison, Warnes considers how black characters respond with a wide variety of countermaneuvers to whites' attempts at regulating access to...
