  • The Gradual Loss of African Indigenous Vegetables in Tropical America: a Review
    The Gradual Loss of African Indigenous Vegetables in Tropical America: A Review 1 ,2 INA VANDEBROEK AND ROBERT VOEKS* 1The New York Botanical Garden, Institute of Economic Botany, 2900 Southern Boulevard, The Bronx, NY 10458, USA 2Department of Geography & the Environment, California State University—Fullerton, 800 N. State College Blvd., Fullerton, CA 92832, USA *Corresponding author; e-mail: [email protected] Leaf vegetables and other edible greens are a crucial component of traditional diets in sub-Saharan Africa, used popularly in soups, sauces, and stews. In this review, we trace the trajectories of 12 prominent African indigenous vegetables (AIVs) in tropical America, in order to better understand the diffusion of their culinary and ethnobotanical uses by the African diaspora. The 12 AIVs were selected from African reference works and preliminary reports of their presence in the Americas. Given the importance of each of these vegetables in African diets, our working hypothesis was that the culinary traditions associated with these species would be continued in tropical America by Afro-descendant communities. However, a review of the historical and contemporary literature, and consultation with scholars, shows that the culinary uses of most of these vegetables have been gradually lost. Two noteworthy exceptions include okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) and callaloo (Amaranthus viridis), although the latter is not the species used in Africa and callaloo has only risen to prominence in Jamaica since the 1960s. Nine of the 12 AIVs found refuge in the African- derived religions Candomblé and Santería, where they remain ritually important. In speculating why these AIVs did not survive in the diets of the New World African diaspora, one has to contemplate the sociocultural, economic, and environmental forces that have shaped—and continue to shape—these foodways and cuisines since the Atlantic slave trade.

This podcast is part of a continuing series we’re doing at Cigna focused on health equity. I recently interviewed Dr. Ina Vandebroek [VAN DE BROOK] in her office at the New York Botanical Garden. Dr. Vandebroek’s office was filled with all kinds of plants – and plant materials. In this interview, she talks about her work as an ethnobotanist and how her research on the use of medicinal plants in Carribbean and Latino communities can lead to improved health equity in those communities. Here’s Ina [EENAH] introducing her work… INA VANDEBROEK Well, I’m a researcher here at the New York Botanical Garden and the Matthew Calbraith Perry Assistant Curator of Economic Botany and the Caribbean Program Director at the Institute of Economic Botany of the New York Botanical Garden. My research is focused on the links between culture, health, and plants – botany. So, I study how cultural groups, communities in New York City, and I’m focusing on Caribbean communities and Latino communities, use medicinal plants for their health care and what their cultural beliefs about health are, and that research, those results are used to develop cultural competency training with health care providers. SHANNON MCCORMICK What is cultural competence and what does it look like? INA VANDEBROEK Cultural competency training is teaching medical students, residents, and healthcare providers on how to become more culturally sensitive with their Latino and Caribbean patients.

We studied the small city of Chachapoyas (~34,000 in- habitants) in the northern Peruvian Andes. We divided the city into three areas according to the socio-economic characteristics of its inhabitants: city center (high), intermediate area (medium), and city periphery (low). We gathered information with 450 participants through semi-structured inter- views. Participants of the city periphery showed a higher TK of medicinal plants than participants of Citation: Corroto, F.; Rascón, J.; the intermediate area, and the latter showed a higher TK than participants of the city center.
