The study of the origin, development and diversity of the human diet is emerging as a coherent field that offers a much-needed integrative framework for our contemporary knowledge of the ecology of food and nutrition. This authoritative series of monographs and symposia volumes on the history and anthropology of food and nutrition is designed to address this need by providing integrative approaches to the study of various problems within the human food chain. Since the series is both methodologically and conceptually integrative, the focus of the individual volumes spans such topics as nutrition and health, culinary practices, prehistoric analyses of diet, and food scarcity and subsistence practices among various societies of the world. As a series, it offers many unique opportunities for a wide range of scientists, scholars and other professionals representing anthropology, archaeology, food history, economics, agriculture, folklore, nutrition, medicine, pharmacology, public health and public policy to exchange important new knowledge, discoveries and methods involved in the study of all aspects of human foodways.
Solomon H. Katz
This book had its origin in a dinner-table conversation with Art Hansen in Gainesville, Florida, in the late 1980s. Hansen suggested that I edit a book on rice in Africa but also urged me to work on whatever project was most interesting to me. In 1991, I organized a session at the annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association on the topic "The Ecology and Economics of Food Crop Production in Sub-Saharan West Africa," under the co-sponsorship of the Culture and Agriculture Group and the AAA Task Force on African Hunger, Famine and Food Security. Some of the panelists agreed to pursue a book project, and I began the effort to produce a volume that would coalesce some of the burgeoning interest in and knowledge of western African ecology and agriculture.
For encouragement, I owe a sincere debt of gratitude to Sol Katz and Rebecca Huss-Ashmore and, most especially, Olga Linares, whose patience and positive attitude kept me going forward on a project that sometimes seemed endless.
Barbara Cellarius, Caroline Dunn, and Nina James-Fowler contributed valuable editorial assistance. Scott Stauber is responsible for the illustrations and Margaret Altman did the index and helped with the proofreading. Students in my seminar on ecological anthropology, spring 1996, read and thoughtfully critiqued the manuscript. Criticisms by Gregg Goldstein were particularly apt. Rhonda Gillett-Netting kindly gave me permission to quote extensively from Robert McC. Netting's unpublished "Comments."
The College of Arts and Sciences, University of Kentucky, in Lexington, generously supported this project with research assistantships and a Summer Faculty Research Fellowship.
