Building Houses Out of Chicken Legs: Black Women, Food, and Power
Psyche A. Williams-Forson
Chicken - both the bird and the food - has played multiple roles in the lives of African American women since the slavery era. This book examines the complexity of black women's legacies using food as a form of cultural work. It focuses on the ways black women have forged their own self-definitions and relationships to the ""gospel bird"".
