Описание: (Don't buy this version There is a new, expanded edition, with a green cover. Better )Until her recent death at 93, Carmela Cusumano was a cook of a vanishing breed. Daughter of Sicilian immigrants, Carmela took to her roles in the kitchen as chief cook, devoted wife to a husband (also son of Sicilian immigrants), and mother to ten children with a passion befitting a "performing" artist. In her eighties, Carmela, already a grandmother and great-grandmother nearly fifty times, decided to gather the recipes for her ever-growing family, including the traditional dishes they recalled with nostalgia and also the many baked goods Carmela loved to treat family and friends to. Carmela published those recipes in a spiral-bound book, La Cucina di Carmela. After Carmela's death, November 19, 2015, her ten children decided to re-publish her book and make it available for anyone who loves to cook and to make simple good food. This is a cookbook of Sicilian and American fare. As the children point out in the Foreword, Carmela, who studied home economics at an American high school where she graduated in the late 1930s, honed her skills in her Sicilian and American household of the 1940s through the 1960s. The recipes reflect her Sicilian heritage and the time and place (New Jersey) where she raised her family. Thus the recipes weave Carmela's simple fare that she had to stretch to feed her large family with her passion later in life for collecting new recipes from everyone, from her Hungarian sister-in-law to a Texas chef. You will find recipes for homemade pasta, sausage, and eggplant appetizer, for Hungarian cakes and cookies, and that Texan chef's crab claw appetizer. There are recipes for classics, like Wedding Soup and Sicilian cannoli and pizza and Carmela's treasured discoveries like strawberry cream cake and pineapple pie.

Описание:

African Video Movies and Global Desires is the first full-length scholarly study of Ghana’s commercial video industry, an industry that has produced thousands of movies over the last twenty years and has grown into an influential source of cultural production. Produced and consumed under circumstances of dire shortage and scarcity, African video movies narrate the desires and anxieties created by Africa’s incorporation into the global cultural economy.

Drawing on archival and ethnographic research conducted in Ghana over a ten-year period, as well as close readings of a number of individual movies, this book brings the insights of historical context as well as literary and film analysis to bear on a range of movies and the industry as a whole. Garritano makes a significant contribution to the examination of gender norms and the ideologies these movies produce.

African Video Movies and Global Desires is a historically and theoretically informed cultural history of an African visual genre that will only continue to grow in size and influence.
