SPA 273 Comida e identidad
This course explores the relationship between food and national and regional identity. We will examine staples in our diets and how these commodities arrived on our plates. Who harvested the food? How were their lives and landscapes changed by bananas, corn, coffee, and other crops? We will analyze works of fiction, CIA documents, gastro-narratives, films, photographs, and pieces of art as we examine the complex relationship between cuisine and roles of race, class and gender. This course will be taught in Spanish. Prerequisites: SPA 220 or equivalent, or permission from the instructor.
