Fall 2025: Food for Thought

Food is more than sustenance. Cooking and serving food have always been important emotionally. Old and new generations learn family recipes and share family traditions. Communities come together at events and eating places to get to know one another and to build common identities. At the same time, conflict can appear wherever people raise, cook, or eat food. The books in this series were shaped by both the power and the conflicts surrounding the way we eat.

Copies of all books are available at L. W. Nixon Library. Questions? Contact us at 316-322-3235 or jbastin@butlercc.edu.
