FROM THE AUTHOR
The Historical study of food and the anthropology of food are recent and growing fields of scholarly inquiry. An understanding of these aspects of life can reveal much about a culture's crop production, economy, preperation methods, festivals, foodways, history, and environmental care and degradation. This beautiful illustraded book by one of the Caribbean's pre-eminent historians B.W. Higman, sheds new light on food and cultural practices in Jamaica.
