Recenzii

“A lively and engaging history of African food, cooking, and culinary cultures found within the continent and beyond. Indispensable reading for anyone interested in African history, the African diaspora, food studies, and women's contributions to culinary history.”—Judith Carney, Department of Geography, University of California, Los Angeles

“In this compelling study, James C. McCann provides a profound and novel way to examine history and historical change not only in Africa but also in the Atlantic basin…. This book allows readers to peek into the African cooking pot in order to better understand the constituent parts and nuances of African cuisine, as shaped by geography, history, trade across ecological zones, and migration (forced and voluntary) across oceans (Atlantic, Pacific, and the Mediterranean).”—American Historical Review

“(Stirring the Pot) makes the reader both intellectually and physically hungry.”—Canadian Journal of History

“Stirring the Pot is a welcome addition to the sparse literature on African history, food and foodways, and popular culture…. The book is aimed at a wide audience, ranging from mature secondary-school students through undergraduates and general readers, but graduate students and academics will also find its detailed documentation helpful.”—Gastronomica

“Published as part of an Africa in World History series brought out by an academic press, Ohio University Press, and aimed primarily at students and scholars, Stirring the Pot nonetheless considers a large swath of the world’s foodways and history in a valuable and, for many readers, new way. Despite the foodie fever currently gripping the culture, there doesn’t appear to be a whole lot out there about African cuisine….”—Wilson Quarterly, “From the Editors”

“The author of the Gourmand award-winning book Stirring the Pot is one of the biggest experts when it comes to the agricultural and cooking history of Africa.”
— Gourmand Magazine

“(McCann’s) close reading of a feast offered in 1887 by Tatyu, the wife of Ethiopian king Menelik II, is an exemplary investigation of stat patronage and Ethiopian cuisine. The author’s use of details is eye-catching…. There has been a desperate need for this kind of study for over two decades, so McCann has done African studies a service by writing such a readable book.”
— Notes & Records
