Women across the Caribbean have been writing, reading, and
exchanging cookbooks since at least the turn of the nineteenth
century. These cookbooks are about much more than cooking. Through
cookbooks, Caribbean women, and a few men, have shaped, embedded,
and contested colonial and domestic orders, delineated the contours
of independent national cultures, and transformed tastes for
independence into flavors of domestic autonomy. Culinary
Colonialism, Caribbean Cookbooks, and Recipes for National
Independence integrates new documents into the Caribbean
archive and presents them in a rare pan-Caribbean perspective. The
first book-length consideration of Caribbean cookbooks, Culinary
Colonialism joins a growing body of work in Caribbean studies and
food studies that considers the intersections of food writing,
race, class, gender, and nationality. A selection of recipes,
culled from the archive that Culinary Colonialism assembles,
allows readers to savor the confluence of culinary traditions and
local specifications that connect and distinguish national cuisines
in the Caribbean. Â

This Reader collects in a single volume some of the most
influential essays written by Barbara Johnson over the course of
her thirty-year career as a pioneering literary theorist and
cultural critic. Johnson achieved renown early in her career, both
as a brilliant student of the Yale School of literary criticism and
as the translator of Jacques Derrida's Dissemination. She went on
to lead the way in extending the insights of structuralism and
poststructuralism into newly emerging fields now central to
literary studies, fields such as gender studies, African American
studies, queer theory, and law and literature. Stunning models of
critical reading and writing, her essays cultivate rigorous
questioning of universalizing assumptions, respect for otherness
and difference, and an appreciation of ambiguity. Along with the
classic essays that established her place in literary scholarship,
this Reader makes available a selection of Johnson's later essays,
brilliantly lucid and politically trenchant works exploring
multilingualism and translation, materiality, ethics, subjectivity,
and sexuality. The Barbara Johnson Reader offers a historical guide
through the metamorphoses and tumultuous debates that have defined
literary study in recent decades, as viewed by one of critical
theory's most astute thinkers.
