(*NEW ARRIVAL*) (African American) Verta Mae Smart-Grosvenor. Vibration Cooking or, The Travel Notes of a Geechee Girl.

$95.00

Pictorial wrappers. First Edition. Garden City: Doubleday, 1970.

Published concurrently with the hardcover edition. Combining recipes with storytelling and history, Smart-Grosvenor explores the world of Gullah cooking and her upbringing in Geechee culture. Scholar Anne E. Goldman compared Vibration Cooking with Jessica Harris' Iron Pots and Wooden Spoons, arguing that, in both books, " the model of the self... is historicized by being developed in the context of colonialism."

Minor rubbing to extremities; owner's inscription to inside front wrapper & her rubberstamp to title page, otherwise very good - scarce.
