RUM, TACOS, AND HISTORY:
FOOD AND LATIN AMERICAN HISTORY IN GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE

   

This special course brings together John Jay students with CUNY’s Culinary Arts program to explore six centuries of Latin American History through food. The class will conduct archival research into historic foodways and collaborate with professional chefs and their students to create not only meals but also video documentaries of the experience. In doing so, students will refine their writing and research skills. Guest lecturers supplement weekly readings.
