More about the book

Exploring the intricate relationship between food and social inequality, the author examines how culinary practices in New Orleans reflect and reinforce racial hierarchies and class exploitation. Utilizing diverse sources such as menus, cookbooks, and newspapers, the study reveals how food culture shapes perceptions of race and power, going beyond mere culinary history to highlight the impact of food discourse on societal structures. This work sheds light on the broader implications of food production and consumption in a culturally rich yet unequal city.
