Contents Creating the foodways of uplift -- Booker T. Washington's multifaceted program for food reform at the Tuskegee Institute -- W.E.B. du Bois, respectable child-rearing, and the representative black body -- Regionalism, social class, and elite perceptions of working-class foodways during the era of the great migration -- World War I, the Great Depression, and the changing symbolic value of black food traditions -- The civil rights movement and the ascendency of the idea of a racial style of eating -- Culinary nationalism beyond soul food.
Summary This text gives a nuanced history of black foodways across the twentieth century, challenging traditional narratives of 'soul food' as a singular style of historical African American cuisine. It details the experiences and diverse convictions of several generations of African American activists, ranging from Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois to Mary Church Terrell, Elijah Muhammad, and Dick Gregory.
