Historian, Dr. Jeffrey Pilcher presents his research, “Dos Equis or Five Rabbit? Beer and Taste in Greater Mexico,” at 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, May 2 in the Henry Madden Library (Room 3212) as part of the Chicano/Latin America Studies Speaker Series.

Food and the Making of Mexican Identity” (1998), “The Sausage Rebellion: Public Health, Private Enterprise, and Meat in Mexico City” (2006), and “Food in World History” (2006). His latest book, “Planet Taco: A Global History of Mexican Food” (2012), seeks to show how Mexico’s national cuisine developed through global interactions, particularly with Mexican-American cooks. The free, public event is co-sponsored by the departments of History and Anthropology.
