Culinary historian Michael W. Twitty explores the complex intersection of race and heritage through the lens of Southern cuisine. By tracing his own ancestral lineage from Africa to the American South, he examines the profound influence of enslaved people on the development of regional foodways and the enduring, often contentious, politics of ownership surrounding soul food and barbecue.
