"African Roots in Southern Fields: What the Slaves Ate" is the February 18 Paideia Texts and Issues Lecture
-
Assistant Professor of Africana Studies and History Kelly Sharp will discuss her research into the distinctly identifiable African Diasporic culinary culture of nineteenth-century bondspeople on coastal South Carolina plantations. Enslaved women in antebellum America used the daily practice of cooking and eating to actively express their culture, despite the dehumanizing regime of slavery under which they lived and labored. This fascinating talk will take place at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 18, in the CFL Recital Hall. A reception will follow in Qualley Lounge.
