The book is divided into three parts. The first part, "From Africa to America," traces the history of the African diaspora through the lens of food. Harris explores the ways that food has been used to sustain, nourish, and connect people throughout history. She also looks at the ways that food has been used as a tool of oppression and control.
The second part of the book, "The Global African Diaspora," looks at the ways that African cuisine has been adapted and transformed in different parts of the world. Harris travels to countries such as Brazil, Cuba, and Jamaica, and she cooks and eats with local people to learn about their unique culinary traditions.
The third part of the book, "The Future of African Cuisine," looks at the future of African cuisine. Harris argues that African cuisine is poised to become a major force in the global food scene. She highlights the work of young chefs and entrepreneurs who are using food to connect people, promote cultural understanding, and fight against racism.
The Plate Don Move is a beautifully written and deeply researched book that offers a unique perspective on the African diaspora. Harris's passion for food and culture shines through on every page, and she makes a convincing case for the power of food to bring people together. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in food, history, or culture.
