This cookbook and history uses recipes, interviews, quotes, and other research to paint a portrait of African Americans in Tucson, Arizona. Originally published in 1993 by the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society-Tucson Chapter, this updated 2nd edition retains the recollections and beloved recipes of citizens from the early part of the 1900s while adding the voices and perspectives of a wide range of Blacks. This edition walks into the new century through the Covid 19 Pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement, new Black immigration into the city and other events. Always a small minority of the Tucson population, African Americans interacted, created, and generally used food as part of a fellowship. Their recipes, some updated to fit new "healthy" standards, offer a glimpse into Black life in the Southwest. Personal testimonies, editor's notes and short essays throughout make this a complete and satisfying read for the mind and the soul.
