A delicious and delightful narrative history of pie in America,
from the colonial era through the civil rights movement and
beyondFrom the pumpkin pie gracing the Thanksgiving table to the
apple pie at the Fourth of July picnic, nearly every American
shares a certain nostalgia for a simple circle of crust and
filling. But America's history with pie has not always been so
sweet. After all, it was a slice of cherry pie at the Woolworth's
lunch counter on a cool February afternoon that helped to spark the
Greensboro sit-ins and ignited a wave of anti-segregation protests
across the South during the civil rights movement. Molasses pie,
meanwhile, captures the legacies of racial trauma and oppression
passed down from America's history of slavery, and Jell-O pie
exemplifies the pressures and contradictions of gender roles in an
evolving modern society. We all know the warm comfort of the
so-called "All-American" apple pie . . . but just how did pie
become the symbol of a nation? In Sweet Land of Liberty: A History
of America in 11 Pies, food writer Rossi Anastopoulo cracks open
our relationship to pie with wit and good humor. For centuries, pie
has been a malleable icon, co-opted for new social and political
purposes. Here, Anastopoulo traces the pies woven into our history,
following the evolution of our country across centuries of
innovation and change. With corresponding recipes for each chapter
and sidebars of quirky facts throughout, Sweet Land of Liberty is
an entertaining, informative, and utterly charming food history for
bakers, dessert lovers, and history aficionados alike. Ultimately,
the story of pie is the story of America itself, and it's time to
dig in.
