Culinary Colonialism, Caribbean Cookbooks, and Recipes for National Independence
2024
Overview
Women across the Caribbean have been writing, reading, and
exchanging cookbooks since at least the turn of the nineteenth
century. These cookbooks are about much more than cooking. Through
cookbooks, Caribbean women, and a few men, have shaped, embedded,
and contested colonial and domestic orders, delineated the contours
of independent national cultures, and transformed tastes for
independence into flavors of domestic autonomy. Culinary
Colonialism, Caribbean Cookbooks, and Recipes for National
Independence integrates new documents into the Caribbean
archive and presents them in a rare pan-Caribbean perspective. The
first book-length consideration of Caribbean cookbooks,
Culinary Colonialism joins a growing body of work in
Caribbean studies and food studies that considers the intersections
of food writing, race, class, gender, and nationality. A selection
of recipes, culled from the archive that Culinary
Colonialism assembles, allows readers to savor the confluence
of culinary traditions and local specifications that connect and
distinguish national cuisines in the Caribbean.
