Jamaican food : history, biology, culture

Why people eat what they do and how they prepare it is an important means of studying a culture. This work reveals food and cultural practices in Jamaica from the time of the earliest Taino inhabitants through the introduction of different foodways by enslaved cultures, to creole adaptations to the fast-food phenomena.
