Never thought I'd be consulting SW for my homework!
Okay, so, I'm taking a class about the colonization of the Caribbean. One of my final assignments is to do a presentation on Jamaica. For my topic, I chose food, but not just in the sense of, "What do Jamaican people eat?" It's more along the lines of how food and eating habits are racialized, gendered, and divided by class in Jamaica. Basically, the intersectionality of food.
I was wondering if anyone here is familiar with Jamaican or Caribbean culture and would be so awesome as to share their insights with me. For example, are there any foods that are considered overtly feminine? What does that say about ideal female bodies in Jamaica? I'm doing my own research, but some things are hard to discover if you're not a part of a given culture.
This post will most likely get zero replies but I wanted to ask around just in case. Or feel free to PM me. Thanks y'all!
