Review Quotes:
Edge, Engelhardt, Ownby, and their contributors touch on issues familiar in southern studies--especially the roles of race, class, and gender--and do so in an exceptionally fresh and tangible way, through food. This is one of the best collections of food scholarship.
--Warren Belasco "visiting professor of gastronomy at Boston University and author of Food: The Key Concepts"
