The 2000 publication of Food for the Soul: A Texas Expatriate Nurtures Her Culinary Roots in Paris accomplished two goals for its author, Monique Wells. Collecting the recipes resolved her—and other Parisian African Americans’—hankering for a taste of home, and sharing lovely, seasonal dishes like maque choux (adapted here) opened the eyes of elite French cooks to the flavors of the American South and Southwest. This led noted French chef Alain Ducasse to write Wells’s preface, lauding generations of Black cooks who, like Wells, dedicated themselves to uplifting the image of soul food.

Serving the Spirits by Mambo Vye Zo is a look into one of the most misunderstood religions today. Vodou is not about curses, dolls or any of the myriad Hollywood tropes that dominate the internet these days. It's a religious practice that blends French Catholicism with African Ancestor veneration. In this book, Mambo Vye Zo explains in clear language the principles of Haitian Vodou, and how she practices it today. Chapters include information on the history of Haiti; the role of Vodou in Haitian society today; and the Lwa of Vodou, those mysteries that are referred to as "angels in the mirror." Illustrated throughout with stories about her time in Haiti, Vye Zo does an admirable job of laying out the basic structures of the faith - the primary roles of priest and servitors as well as the many people she engaged with in Haiti. 300 pages, soft cover, signed by the author with a special veve on the cover drawn to bring luck, open roads and inspiration to anyone reading.

1969 One of the unique aspects of the Black Panthers as a political project was their emphasis on the cultural component of revolutionary work. In addition to community-based education and social programs for both children and adults, the Panthers had a house band (The Lumpen—check them out), and a Minister of Culture, the groundbreaking Emory Douglas, whose art for The Black Panther newspaper created a visual context for black liberation. Douglas’ political art came honest. His own impoverished childhood in the Bay Area was interrupted by a spell in a juvenile detention center, where he found a niche in the prison print shop. He later studied commercial art at San Francisco City College, which is where he joined the Black Students Union before being appointed Minister of Culture. Douglas’ work is incredibly distinctive, often produced with very little budget or time. He favored bold, organic lines, thoughtful collage-work and saturated colors, creating imagery of both dignified black people and cartoonish political antagonists (often soldiers, cops or politicians depicted as rats or pigs). You’ll notice a lot of weapons—remember, the original name was “The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense,” and much of the original intent was protecting black...
