NPR Interview: A Soul Food Journey From Africa To America

I am getting resettled in Boston thus will be away from blogging until next week. The following is a prerecorded interview I did on National Public Radio (NPR) that I believe you will enjoy.

A Soul Food Journey From Africa To America

The social and religious relationship between African Americans and their cuisine. It begins with the Atlantic slave trade and concludes with the Black Power movement of the 1960s and 1970s.

Opie speaks with Farai Chideya about the geography and history of black cooking, captured in Hog and Hominy: Soul Food from Africa to America.
