Black Hunger focuses on debates over soul food since the 1960s to illuminate
a complex web of political, economic, religious, sexual, and racial tensions
between whites and blacks and within the black community itself. Doris Witt
draws on vaudeville, literature, film, visual art, and cookbooks to explore
how food has been used both to perpetuate and to challenge racial
stereotypes.
