The struggle for access and fairness by Black people is fundamentally based on sustainable culture, which is what keeps a community alive and thriving. Food is at the center of this struggle. Williams-Forson examines the significance that food plays in cultural transmission, belonging, homemaking, and survival while bluntly revealing the pervasive policing and shame around how Black people eat. In the past, there has been a link between black people's ties to food and harsh kinds of control and scarcity, as well as with astounding innovation and resourcefulness. This book encourages us to consider and talk about food in new ways in order to improve American society on both a structural and personal level by increasing the conversation around eating and race.
