Culture & Communities of Food

 
 
 
Unit 1: Cultures & Communities of Food
 
We spent the  first five weeks of the semester exploring and enjoying cultures and communities of food, beginning with Fabiola Cabeza de Baca Gilbert's The Good Life: New Mexico Traditions and Food (1949) and closing the unit with a shared meal at Albuquerque's own El Patio Restaurant.
 
 
Other readings for this unit included Gustavo Arellano's Taco USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America with rhetorical analysis of tropes and images in this vivid examination of food, culture, and politics.
