Mintz's text is one of the most important in the study of food. The text came out in 1985 and is still taught in courses around the country.

The link above is a conference at Harvard where a group of notable scholars of food and slavery discuss the importance of Mintz's text and many of the things that we will be discussing in class this and next week.
Many of the lectures discuss labor and gender in Mintz's text and in slavery in the Caribbean.
It is a bit dry and academic, but I thought it was worth sharing if anyone was interested.
see everyone this afternoon!
