Among the richest culinary traditions in Mexico, those of the "eight regions" of the state of Oaxaca stand out as particularly noteworthy. Mesquite Pods to Mezcal: Exploring the Evolution of Oaxacan Cuisine brings together a distinguished group of scholars from the fields of Oaxacan archaeology and related disciplines to delve into the captivating evolution of the region's world-renowned cuisines. This groundbreaking volume, the first to offer a comprehensive historical perspective on food practices across Oaxaca, spans a vast expanse of human occupation, from the early Holocene to contemporary times. Contributors examine the profound legacy of agroecological management and the significant transformations of the landscape, viewing food production as a profound interplay between humans and their environment. They explore how, following the arrival of the Spanish, Oaxacan cuisines underwent adaptations, dietary shifts, and the emergence of food as a powerful symbol of identity. By examining the present, subsequent studies shed light on how traditional foodways endure and what they hold for contemporary Oaxacans, whether they are traversing ancient roads, pursuing livelihoods outside the region, or rebuilding in the aftermath of an earthquake. Through the original case studies presented in this volume, it becomes evident how innovative methods and diverse theoretical frameworks can converge to trace the intricate development of a rich culinary tradition that continues to thrive in the present day.
