The Jemima Code
Author: Toni Tipton-Martin
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 1477326715
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Winner, James Beard Foundation Book Award, 2016 Art of Eating Prize, 2015 BCALA Outstanding Contribution to Publishing Citation, Black Caucus of the American Library Association, 2016 Women of African descent have contributed to America’s food culture for centuries, but their rich and varied involvement is still overshadowed by the demeaning stereotype of an illiterate “Aunt Jemima” who cooked mostly by natural instinct. To discover the true role of black women in the creation of American, and especially southern, cuisine, Toni Tipton-Martin has spent years amassing one of the world’s largest private collections of cookbooks published by African American authors, looking for evidence of their impact on American food, families, and communities and for ways we might use that knowledge to inspire community wellness of every kind. The Jemima Code presents more than 150 black cookbooks that range from a rare 1827 house servant’s manual, the first book published by an African American in the trade, to modern classics by authors such as Edna Lewis and Vertamae Grosvenor. The books are arranged chronologically and illustrated with photos of their covers; many also display selected interior pages, including recipes. Tipton-Martin provides notes on the authors and their contributions and the significance of each book, while her chapter introductions summarize the cultural history reflected in the books that follow. These cookbooks offer firsthand evidence that African Americans cooked creative masterpieces from meager provisions, educated young chefs, operated food businesses, and nourished the African American community through the long struggle for human rights. The Jemima Code transforms America’s most maligned kitchen servant into an inspirational and powerful model of culinary wisdom and cultural authority.

Material Culture, Social Relations, and Spatial Organization on a Colonial Frontier
Author: Theodore R. Reinhart

ISBN:
Category : Archaeology
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
"The remains of a late eighteenth-century farmstead (44SN180), 3.1 miles west of Capron, Virginia, in Southampton County was completely excavated (Phase III study). The brick and cob (mud) foundation and cellar of a frame house, cellars and postholes of two post houses, and the foundation of a cob-constructed smokehouse were its main features. Mechanical removal of the plowzone around these features revealed six fence lines and numerous features related to both farm and domestic activities. These features and their spatial organization and the recovered artifacts and ecofacts, such as animal bone, provided data for the analysis of social relations and the impact of the frontier on material culture. The documentary history indicated the presence of slaves at the site and this was supported by the archaeological remains that included ceramic, dietary, and architectural evidence. Although judged eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, its location in the path of construction expanding Route 58, the infamous "suicide strip," to four lanes dictated its mitigation by excavation."
