520			_aProvides a startling new assessment of the Atlantic slave trade and upends conventional wisdom by shifting attention from the crops slaves were forced to produce to the foods they planted for their own nourishment. The authors draw on archaeological records, oral histories, and the accounts of slave ship captains to show how slaves' food plots - "botanical gardens of the dispossessed" - became the incubators of African survival in the Americas and Africanized the foodways of plantation societies.
