African Food Influences in Brazil

Afro-Hispanic women, known as dulceras, could be seen roaming the streets with freshly made pastries, cookies, cakes, and pies balanced on their heads to sell. Slaveholders would send dulceras out to sell sweets in exchange for the majority of their profits.

Doña Josefa Marmanill, an enslaved Afro-Peruvian cook, whose legacy continues to tantalize our taste buds and inspire our hearts.

Enslaved Brazilian women cooks used vitamin- and fiber-rich ingredients that originated in Africa, like okra and coconut milk, which contributed to the development of the unique and rich Afro-Brazilian cuisine that continues to influence Brazilian food culture to this day.

Brazilian food has strong African influences due to the importation of enslaved Africans starting and ending in the country. This can be seen in their dishes, like vatapá, a seafood gumbo.

Enslaved Afro-Brazilian women sold prepared food, like acarajé in the streets of Brazil. Originally a popular West African dish, Afro-Brazilian have continued to sell acarajé long after slavery was abolished in 1888.

Marcus Garvey's United Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) had more than 700 chapters in 38 states alone in the early 1920s, including hundreds of more chapters throughout the world. The UNIA championed Black nationalism, self-determination, and Black entrepreneurship. Garvey founded the Negro Factories Corporation (NFC) in 1919 and offered stock in it to African Americans as a means to help Black people to achieve economic independence. Among its many activities, the NFC ran grocery stores and restaurants in the early 1920s.

Today we dive into the history of African American Cooperatives. George Schuyler, founder of the Young Negro Cooperative League, and Ella Baker, assistant of the Young Negro Cooperative League, organized food co-ops and Black-owned and operated grocery stores throughout the U.S. during the Great Depression to aid the Black community in economic independence and food self-sufficiency.
