Food and Culture
Abstrak
History, is a Center for International Education (CIE) Global Studies Fellow. Her research project, entitled “Telling the Truth about Colonialism in the Body: Malnutrition and Its Effects on Birth, Reproduction, and Infant Health in Morocco,” concerns not food, but its absence. Although scholars have argued that colonial regimes appropriate native bodies as sites for the legitimization of foreign rule, scientific superiority and state control, she argues that the biomedical body can also tell the truth about colonialism. French physicians blamed Moroccan infant mortality on native midwifery and Islamic traditional healing, but the Moroccan woman’s collapsed pelvis and the kwashiorkor of the Muslim infant revealed that food, not Islam, was the cause of child death.
