‘Decolonize Your Diet’ is a Culinary Response to Popular ‘Post-Racial/Post-Colonia
This recipe book is not vegan. This should be made clear (it is plant-based using mostly vegan with some vegetarian ingredients like cow based butter). My excitement about the book comes more from the fact that it is written from a ‘decolonizing’ point of view. These perspectives, will vary depending on who is writing and how they define ‘decolonizing’; ‘decolonizing’ anything is not a monolith. It would be interesting to know if future books they write will consider a ‘vegan’ framework for decolonizing your diet. Food Empowerment project has more info about a decolonizing the diet framework that is vegan oriented that you should check out.
