520 Chicken--both the bird and the food--has played multiple
roles in the lives of African American women from the
slavery era to the present. It has provided food and a
source of income for their families, shaped a distinctive
culture, and helped women define and exert themselves in
racist and hostile environments. Psyche A. Williams-Forson
examines the complexity of black women's legacies using
food as a form of cultural work. While acknowledging the
negative interpretations of black culture associated with
chicken imagery, Williams-Forson focuses her analysis on
the ways black women have forged their own self-
definitions and relationships to the "gospel bird."
Exploring material ranging from personal interviews to the
comedy of Chris Rock, from commercial advertisements to
the art of Kara Walker, and from cookbooks to literature,
Williams-Forson considers how black women arrive at
degrees of self-definition and self-reliance using certain
foods. She demonstrates how they defy conventional
representations of blackness and exercise influence
through food preparation and distribution. Understanding
these complex relationships clarifies how present
associations of blacks and chicken are rooted in a past
that is fraught with both racism and agency. The
traditions and practices of feminism, Williams-Forson
argues, are inherent in the foods women prepare and serve.
