Guida ai miti e alla spiritualità degli antichi Egizi
Soul food has played a critical role in preserving Black history, community, and culinary genius. It is also a response to--and marker of--centuries of food injustice. Given the harm that our food production system inflicts upon Black people, what should soul food look like today? Christopher Carter's answer to that question merges a history of Black American foodways with a Christian ethical response to food injustice. Carter reveals how racism and colonialism have long steered the development of US food policy. The very food we grow, distribute, and eat disproportionately harms Black people specifically and people of color among the global poor in general. Carter reflects on how people of color can eat in a way that reflects their cultural identities while remaining true to the principles of compassion, love, justice, and solidarity with the marginalized. Both a timely mediation and a call to action, The Spirit of Soul Food places today's Black foodways at the crossroads of food justice and Christian practice.

"Horemheb contempla la Grande Epouse royale, nimbée de la lumière dorée du couchant. Une beauté presque irréelle. - Viens, exigea-t-elle en se relevant. Serrant très fort sa main, elle l'emmena au bord de la terrasse. - Que discernes-tu, mon roi ? Dans la lumière de l'occident se dessinaient les formes des pyramides qu'avaient érigées les pharaons de l'âge d'or. - Nos ancêtres ont bâti l'éternité, rappela la reine, et nous devons poursuivre leur oeuvre. Ce qu'Akhénaton a tenté de détruire, consolide-le ! " Avec Horemheb, le retour de la lumière, Christian Jacq raconte l'extraordinaire destin du scribe qui, aux côtés de Toutânkhamon, devient général puis pharaon, évitant à l'Egypte de sombrer dans le chaos. Uni à une remarquable Grande Epouse royale, Horemheb n'aura d'autre enfant que l'Egypte et ouvrira son pays à la dynastie des Ramsès. (www.payot.ch)
