This book explores how twentieth-century urban capitalism created a new food system in East Africa's most important port city: Mombasa, Kenya. Inside households, the dynamics of urban life changed the gendered structures of cooking, while new businesses emerged to sell food to working-class communities that now had to rely on cash to acquire their daily sustenance.
