WELCOME TO TWO WAY STREET: FOOD INFLUENCES IN LATIN AMERICA

By: Roshni Raj, Alicia Alvarez, Emilio Teran, and Elle Mera

Introducing Two Way Street: Food Influences in Latin America, the place where anthropology meets food in Latin America! Join us on this learning adventure as we explore the diverse world of Latin American cuisine.

​

Food is an essential identity for understanding the processes and culture of different countries of the Latin world. We will explore multicultural and global influences in the Dominican Republic and Peru, ancestral practices in Colombia, and gastropolitics in Chile. This website can be helpful beyond our class because our topics not only focus on the influence that the country has had on its cuisines but also the influences that it has had on others and what has influenced them.
