Belly Like Drum offers recipes for building community through stories, interviews, poems, and artwork. The community cookbook highlights treasured family meals and meaningful dishes from members of Nikkei Progressives—a grassroots group based in Little Tokyo standing against injustice, inequality, and white supremacy.
Belly Like Drum is published in the longstanding tradition of learning from history by telling and retelling the stories that give us courage, insights, and hope. Working for social justice is an ongoing and intergenerational process and, just like food, it is something we must return to every day. As organizers and activists from ages seven to ninety-seven, the contributors to this cookbook believe that as we are nourished by the food we make, eat, and share, so our souls are fed by our involvement in the struggle for justice.
Nellita's Craft is proud to carry Belly Like Drum and support the intergenerational, multigenerational social justice community organizing of Nikkei Progressives.
