Episode 3: Legacy of Enslaved Foodways

  • Summary

  • "Bigger Fish to Fry" is podcast series with three episodes focusing on the food history of enslaved people, the nutrition of enslaved people, and the legacy that slavery, health, and diet have on modern populations. My project illuminates the connection between these subjects by answering the following question: How did the foodways of enslaved people, including their diet and nutrition, affect their health? For American black people, the history of our ancestors is often limited to the struggles and suffering that they endured. This podcast is meant to bridge the gap between academic research and non-collegiate audiences, who deserve to understand the lives of their ancestors. By doing so as a country, we can begin to correct the legacies of slavery and racism.

    This episode focuses on the legacy of the foodways and institution of slavery on modern American black people.
