High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America by Jessica B. Harris

tangleroot_eli's review against another edition

informative slow-paced

The older historical sections provide incredible insights into the history and development of African American foodways. But the book's 11 years old, and the more "current" sections have not, imo, aged well. Look to Michael Twitty's The Cooking Gene instead if you're interested in the "now" of Black food.
