In Eating in the Side Room, Mark Warner uses the archaeological
data of food remains recovered from excavations in Annapolis,
Maryland, and the Chesapeake as a point of departure to examine how
material culture shaped African American identity in one of the
country's oldest cities. Warner skillfully demonstrates how African
Americans employed food as a tool for expressing and defending
their cultural heritage while living in a society that attempted to
ignore and marginalize them. The ""side rooms"" where the families
ate their meals not only satisfied their hunger but also their need
to belong. As a result, Warner claims, the independence that
African Americans practiced during this time helped prepare their
children and grandchildren to overcome greater challenges of white
oppression.
