Recensioner i media

“Brandi Simpson Miller's book was much needed to liberate the Western dominated-discourse of food (in) security in Ghana and other (West) African countries. She provides an excellent understanding of the historical developments of Ghana's food ways that should stand as the starting point for similar research.” (Chiara Scheven, anthrobookforum.americananthro.org, February 27, 2024)
