Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

L. Malaika Cooper's narration is both empathetic and articulate, perfectly complementing Psyche A. Williams-Forson’s scholarly approach. The first chapter, dissecting the history of soul food, is particularly gripping, with its eloquent storytelling that balances historical facts with personal anecdotes. However, some sections can feel overly academic at times, which may detract from the flow for casual listeners. Despite this, ‘Eating While Black’ remains a compelling and insightful listen that delves deeply into America’s culinary past, making it a must-listen for those interested in cultural history.
