Get Ready To Crave Mexican Food
The largest (that we know of) North American collection of Mexican and Mexican-American cookbooks is at the University of Texas at San Antonio, which began in 2001 with roughly a 550 book donation and has grown to over 2,000 cookbooks. “Written in flowery scripts and stained with the cooks’ DNA, these recipe-packed tomes feel like living histories that inform our present as much as they illuminate the past.” And good news: so far half of the books have been digitized! Abuelita better have jotted down measurements and cooking times is all I’m saying.
Book Festival!
On April 25th at American University’s Washington College of Law the annual National Antiracist Book Festival will take place to host, celebrate, and bring together the nation’s leading antiracist writers.
