From the Silk Road to the National Mall
Description
An account of the resource
Stephen Kidd explains how his involvement with several projects during his time at the Smithsonian illuminated the powerful role of the humanities in cultivating cross-cultural community. One project, which focused on food cultures, celebrated culinary legacies as the owner of a New York Jewish delicatessen passed down the business to an immigrant from the Dominican Republic. Another project considered how the AIDS quilt fostered a sense of community in the midst of a public health crisis. Finally, in 2002 the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, which centered on the Silk Road, attracted a multitude of international participants from countries in the Middle East and Central Asia. In the wake of 9/11 and the subsequent invasion of Afghanistan, over one million guests converged on the National Mall to engage with and learn from each other, helping bridge cultures in the shadow of violence.

Description
An account of the resource
Caitlin Patton discusses how the work of Ted Fischer, an anthropologist focused on food culture, specifically the cultivation of broccoli in Guatemala, inspired her choice to study at Vanderbilt University.<br /><br />Fischer’s book, <em>Broccoli and Desire</em>, spotlights an anthropological case study of food culture: the surprising webs of connection between American consumer culture and the traditions of the indigenous Maya people of Guatemala. At first blush, broccoli may not have seemed like an intriguing reading topic, but the book’s methods and message ultimately shaped the course of Patton’s own scholarship.
