In this week's episode, Stephen chats with art historian, author, and educator Shana Klein about politically charged fruit, what bananas have to do with coups and clothing stores, and her latest book The Fruits Of Empire: Art, Food, And The Politics of Race In The Age Of American Expansion.
Sharing her meticulous research, while examining traditional art history and empires (by highlighting overlooked perspectives from the margins), Klein helps shed light on the deeper interpretations and symbolisms in something as innocuous as a bowl of fruit in an oil painting.
Shana Klein is an award-winning assistant professor at Kent State University.
