Warnes has written a well-researched book in "Savage Barbecue." The historical and contemporary ideas he shares make this a fine contribution to the ever-expanding discussions of food and foodways. We will, from now on, look at barbecue as more than a way of preparing food on a grill.--Psyche Williams-Forson "author of "Building Houses out of Chicken Legs: Black Women, Food, and Power" "
In "Savage Barbecue," Andrew Warnes proves that barbecue is more than a word, more even than a style of cooking. In this meticulously researched work, Warnes demonstrates that the barbecue tradition has long been about the careful separation of 'us' and 'them.' Warnes's masterwork proves that the use of the word barbecue has long told us as much about the person speaking as it has about what's being spoken about.--Lolis Eric Elie "author of "Smokestack Lightning: Adventures in the Heart of Barbecue Country" "
Andrew Warnes places 'this most American food' [barbecue] in a surprisingly broad historical context. . . . [He] has a firm hand on the ways in which the power to name is also the power to define . . . [and he] smartly deconstructs the history of the word itself, offering an informed speculation on the word's genesis. . . . This is a full exploration of a food bigger than any plate it's served on. . . . "Savage Barbecue" gets the story done just right.--"Pop Matters"
For those interested in how food and culture intertwine together, "Savage Barbecue" is painstakingly well researched and will surely be included in the bibliographies of many books one day.--"Sauce Magazine"
