Experience MLA - February 2023
Book Discussion - Tuesdays
1:00 - 2:30 PM (CST)/2:00 - 3:30 PM (EST)
Join us for a 2-part discussion of Eating While Black: Food Shaming and Race in America by Psyche Williams-Forson. In Eating While Black, she offers her knowledge and experience to illuminate how anti-Black racism operates in the practice and culture of eating. She shows how mass media, nutrition science, economics, and public policy drive entrenched opinions among both Black and non-Black Americans about what is healthful and right to eat. Distorted views of how and what Black people eat are pervasive, bolstering the belief that they must be corrected and regulated. What is at stake is nothing less than whether Americans can learn to embrace nonracist understandings and practices in relation to food.
- Session 1 - February 16
- Session 2 - February 23
