Food has never been about the simple act of eating; food is history, and identity. Colonialism, as a violent process, fundamentally altered the way of life of a people, including their culinary habits. Even how ugali became Kenya’s staple food is part of the story of colonialism.
On this episode we are joined by Joe Kobuthi, production manager, editor & curator at the Elephant who shared interesting facts on how food was and is still a fundamental tool in the process of colonisation.
