She is the author of The Southern Mystique: Food, Gender, and Houses in Southern Fiction and Films. Klappentext "Race and Repast: Foodscapes in Twentieth-Century Southern Literature examines how race relations are expressed through struggles over the meaning of food and access to food in Southern literature. This innovative investigation offers new perspectives on the history of racial conflict in the South while illuminating how the very act of eating together allowed Southerners to cross race and class lines at a time of great strife"-- Zusammenfassung Examines the literary foodscapes of the American South - from Jim Crow-era kitchens where White and Black Southerners reacted against racial mores, to the public dining spaces where Southerners probed the limits of racial identity, to the lunch counters that became touchstones of the Black Freedom movement.
