Soleil Ho and Amanda Yee teamed up to write BLACK DINNERS MATTER for Whetstone Magazine, in which they examine the films Moonlight, Do the Right Thing and The Color Purple, arguing that “the dinner table is erected as a potent metaphor for ownership and communion… With four centuries of slavery as the backdrop, what’s eaten and where depicts how enslaved Africans and their descendants reclaimed their agency, had it stripped away, and in some cases, even participated in supremacist structures like patriarchy.”
Soleil Ho is the restaurant critic for the San Francisco Chronicle; Amanda Yee trained as a chef, went to university for English and Sociology, writes with a special interest in the intersection of food and justice and is Creative Director for 4 Color Imprint of Tenspeed/ Penguin Random House.
