Africa's Food Legacy in the Atlantic World 
Co-sponsored by Berkeley Food Institute
October 23, 4pm | Chevron Auditorium, International House

A striking feature of plantation era history is the number of first-person accounts that credit the enslaved with the introduction of specific foods, all previously grown in Africa. This lecture lends support to these observations by identifying the crops that European witnesses attributed to slave agency and by engaging the ways that African subsistence staples arrived, and became established, in the Americas. See event details here.
