On September 20, 2012, a special presentation of Foodscapes, Foodfields, and Identities in Yucatán was held at  the Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán where author Steffan Igor Ayora-Diaz is Professor of Anthropology. Along with Ayora Diaz, scholars Ramona Perez, Sarah Bak-Geller, and Francisco Fernández Repetto discussed the book from both historical and anthropological perspectives. Fittingly, a reception featuring just one of Yucatán’s culinary specialties, cohchinita pibil, followed.
