      abstract = {Cookbook author Jessica B. Harris has spent much of her  life researching the food and foodways of the African  Diaspora. High on the Hog is the culmination of years of  her work, and the result is an engaging history of African  American cuisine. Harris takes the reader on a harrowing  journey from Africa across the Atlantic to America,  tracking the trials that the people and the food have  undergone along the way. From chitlins and ham hocks to  fried chicken and vegan soul, Harris celebrates the  delicious and restorative foods of the African American  experience and details how each came to form such an  important part of African American culture, history, and  identity. Although the story of African cuisine in America  begins with slavery, High on the Hog ultimately chronicles  a history of triumph and survival.--From publisher  description.},
