Building Houses out of Chicken Legs: Black Women, Food, and Power
Considered for the food class, this is an anthropological-historical study of the foodways of African-Americans Americans, from the economic reality that women and children could raise chickens for a little extra money on very little resources, selling fried chicken to train passengers for extra income (or making box lunches because of non-existent or segregated eating facilities), the oral histories of the rise and fall of the Coon chicken franchise, white women competing to have the best cooks and pirating their recipes for "Southern" cookbooks, the prestige of being chosen to host the preacher for Sunday dinner, Chris Rock and the "taking the big piece of chicken" routine and the trope in the subversive silhouette artwork of Karen Walker.
