Rootedness and Uprooting of Eating Practices in the Afro-descendant Population in Santiago de Cali, Colombia
The objective of this paper is to present the impact on eating practices of migrant families with children in early childhood in the city of Cali. The methodology is a typical research in the field of cultural studies with a qualitative approach and ethnographic method; it was based on interpreting the voices of women from the Colombian Pacific, participants in training workshops in traditional cuisine of the SENA, and a pilot proposal of a differential menu from the Pacific for early childhood of Afro-descendants was made, in which the reconstruction of the sensitive memory, its taste history and its eating traditions were explored. As a result, it was found that the eating practices of the Afro-descendant cuisine of the Pacific are part of the intangible cultural heritage of Colombia. These are under continuous tension due to factors such as globalization, the loss of biodiversity in the territories, the fragile food security of the communities and the displacement faced by the inhabitants due to poverty and armed conflict. It was concluded that Afro-descendant families migrating to the city of Cali are under conditions of cultural uprooting, however, they find strategies and ways to overcome the loss of their eating traditions based on memory and cultural reconstruction practices in the new territory.
