A poignant-and delicious-compendium of South Carolina Jewish life
revealed through food and storyWhere people go, so goes their food.
In Kugels & Collards: Stories of Food, Family, and Tradition in
Jewish South Carolina, Rachel Gordin Barnett and Lyssa Kligman
Harvey celebrate the unique and diverse food history of Jewish
South Carolina. They gather stories and recipes from diverse Jewish
sources—Sephardic and Ashkenazi families who have been in the
state for hundreds of years, descendants of Holocaust survivors,
and more recent immigrants from Russia and Israel—and explore how
cherished dishes were influenced by available ingredients and
complemented by African American and regional culinary traditions.
These stories are a vital part of the South's "Jewish geography"
and foodways, stretching across state lines to shape southern
culture. On the southern Jewish table, many cultures are savored.
This lively collection includes more than eighty recipes from
seventy contributors. Barnett and Harvey, drawing on family
cookbooks and troves of personal recipes, highlight Jewish staples
like kreplach dumplings and stuffed cabbage as well as southern
favorites such as peach cobbler, modern fusions like grits and lox
casserole, and of course kugels and collards. Fully illustrated
with original and archival photographs, Kugels & Collards
invites readers into family homes, businesses, and community
centers to share meals and memories.
The Inheritance Issue explores what we have inherited, how, and
from whom, reflecting on what we bring forward and what we must
leave behind; what we have reckoned with and the consequences of
failing to reckon. The lived experience of Indigenous people in the
American and global Souths is crucial to the issue's reflections on
place, identity, and origin and to the discussions of solidarity,
allyship, identity, and belonging that must precede collaboration
and reconciliation.

In The Edible South, Marcie Cohen Ferris presents food as a new way
to chronicle the American South's larger history. Ferris tells a
richly illustrated story of southern food and the struggles of
whites, blacks, Native Americans, and other people of the region to
control the nourishment of their bodies and minds, livelihoods,
lands, and citizenship. The experience of food serves as an
evocative lens onto colonial settlements and antebellum
plantations, New South cities and Civil Rights-era lunch counters,
chronic hunger and agricultural reform, counterculture communes and
iconic restaurants as Ferris reveals how food - as cuisine and as
commodity - has expressed and shaped southern identity to the
present day. The region in which European settlers were greeted
with unimaginable natural abundance was simultaneously the place
where enslaved Africans vigilantly preserved cultural memory in
cuisine and Native Americans held tight to kinship and food
traditions despite mass expulsions. Southern food, Ferris argues,
is intimately connected to the politics of power. The contradiction
between the realities of fulsomeness and deprivation, privilege and
poverty, in southern history resonates in the region's food
traditions, both beloved and maligned.
Marcie Cohen Ferris gathers a constellation of leading journalists,
farmers, chefs, entrepreneurs, scholars, and food activists-along
with photographer Baxter Miller- to offer a deeply immersive
portrait of North Carolina's contemporary food landscape. Ranging
from manifesto to elegy, Edible North Carolina's essays,
photographs, interviews, and recipes combine for a beautifully
revealing journey across the lands and waters of a state that
exemplifies the complexities of American food and identity. While
North Carolina's food heritage is grounded in core ingredients and
the proximity of farm to table, this book reveals striking
differences among food-centered cultures and businesses across the
state. Documenting disparities among people's access to food and
farmland-and highlighting community and state efforts toward
fundamental solutions-Edible North Carolina shows how culinary
excellence, entrepreneurship, and the struggle for racial justice
converge in shaping food equity, not only for North Carolinians,
but for all Americans. Starting with Vivian Howard, star of PBS's A
Chef's Life, who wrote the foreword, the contributors include
Shorlette Ammons, Karen Amspacher, Victoria Bouloubasis, Katy
Clune, Gabe Cumming, Marcie Cohen Ferris, Sandra Gutierrez, Tom
Hanchett, Michelle King, Cheetie Kumar, Courtney Lewis, Malinda
Maynor Lowery, Ronni Lundy, Keia Mastrianni, April McGreger, Baxter
Miller, Ricky Moore, Carla Norwood, Kathleen Purvis, Andrea
Reusing, Bill Smith, Maia Surdam, and Andrea Weigl.
Guest edited by T. Dionne Bailey and Garrett Felber, this issue of
Southern Cultures makes visible a radical US South which has long
envisioned a world without policing, prisons, or other forms of
punishment. A region so often exceptionalized for its brutality and
white supremacy is also the seedbed of freedom dreams and radical
movement traditions.

Wilkerson, includes contributions by Marcie Cohen Ferris; Adriane
Lentz-Smith; Andrea Morales; Rachel Gelfand; Keira V. Williams;

In the Spring 2022 Issue, Southern Cultures examines crafts-from
the art of repair to living and dyeing in Swananoa, North Carolina,
and from Bahamian beekeeping to barbecuing and meatcraft across the
region.
The Sanctuary Issue reveals practices and places of sanctuary
understood in its broadest form—as sanctified, sacred, and holy,
and also as safety, refuge, haven, and relief. This issue honors
survival and joy and imagines horizons toward which to reach. It
asks how sanctuary is related to belonging and to unbelonging, and
how each is constructed. How have we nurtured
sanctuaries—religious, secular, and those that exceed that
binary? The issue looks to the long history and future of southern
peoples, and people who traverse southern US geographies, who
continue to envision and construct sanctuary in permanence and
impermanence.
This issue of Southern Cultures frames its theme, Built/Unbuilt,
not so much around the transformation of contemporary sites, but
around landscapes and modernities left glaringly incomplete. While
many of these sites have come to be viewed as parts of ordinary
landscapes, the issue's theme allows us to identify and bring
attention to how extraordinarily unfinished they remain.
From vanishing coastlines in the Carolinas to the toxic legacies of
coal ash, and from reclamations of Indigenous histories
in Louisiana to Black radical environmentalism in the
Tidewater, meet the Human/Nature issue of Southern Cultures.
As guest editor Andy Horowitz writes, this issue ""advocates for a
humane vision of how people live in and with the world around
them--a view of the environment as, at once, a material landscape
that crunches under foot and burns on the skin, and an intellectual
terrain, where ideas about place inform people's views of the
world.
Guest edited by Regina N. Bradley, the Sonic South Issue examines
sound. From Deafness to silence to a tool of liberation, "Sound is
where the South can be its most complicated and unapologetic,"
writes Bradley, "where it can boast its plurality and multiple
communities.
