Despite its very basic purpose of sustaining life, it directly impacts the community, culture and heritage in every region around the globe in countless seen and unseen ways, including the literature and narratives of each region. Across the African continent, food and foodways, which refer to the ways that humans consume, produce and experience food, were influened by slavery and forced labor, colonization, foreign aid, and the anxieties prompted by these encounters, all of which can be traced through the ways food is seen in narratives by African and colonial storytellers. The African continent is home to thousands of cultures, but nearly every one has experienced alteration of its foodways because of slavery, transcontinental trade, and colonization. \u003cem\u003eFood and Foodways in African Narratives: Community, Culture, and Heritage \u003c\/em\u003etakes a careful look at these alterations as seen through African narratives throughout various cultures and spanning centuries. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJonathan Bishop Highfield is a Professor of Postcolonial Literature in the Department of Literary Arts and Studies at the Rhode Island School of Design, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 228\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.51 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 10, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52704276807987,"sku":"9780367886851","price":107.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/0l9dSbBRa39780367886851.webp?v=1763351727","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/food-and-foodways-in-african-narratives-community-culture-and-heritage-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
