Resumen
SAUCEDO-ARTEAGA, Gabriel J. et al. Food and structural power in Afro-Mexicans from the Costa Chica and Veracruz. Hacienda, ranches, ejido, towns. Estud. soc. Rev. aliment. contemp. desarro. reg. [online]. 2023, vol.33, n.61, e231286. Epub 12-Mayo-2023. ISSN 2395-9169. https://doi.org/10.24836/es.v33i61.1286.
Objective:
To analyze the habitual food of Afro-Mexicans in the context of two historical processes and the regional exercise of production/power.
Methodology:
Interviews and participant observation in two regions with a history of hacienda/ejido production; socioeconomic references, 24-hour recall diet, breastfeeding, and complementary feeding.
Results:
The food lists reflect availability and biodiversity, but not access and habitual consumption. Interstices, spaces with a greater margin of freedom were identified for the manifestation and development of a peasant food culture.
Limitations:
The 24-hour diet was for one day and consumption outside home was not considered.
Conclusions:
The sociohistorical condition of production/power determines a major part of the food system, based on foods and techniques reproduced by the indigenous population. There are regional dietary differences, however, to a large extent it corresponds to the diet of rural populations. The food provides enough energy/vitamins, and this comes mainly from corn, beans, rice and green, white and red vegetables.
