The fifteen essays collected in Dethroning the Deceitful Pork Chop utilize a wide variety of methodological perspectives to explore African American food expressions from slavery to the present. The contributors demonstrate that throughout time black people have used food practices as a means of overtly resisting white oppression and more subtly as a way of asserting humanity and ingenuity.
