This Food Issue isn’t just about what Southerners eat—it’s about who we are, where we’ve been, and where we’re going.

About
Sarah Stacke is a photographer and writer who develops daily life stories about people living in under-resourced and narrowly represented communities that have been created by intersections of history, culture, and forced geographies. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, the New Yorker, and National Geographic, and she teaches at Duke’s Center for Documentary Studies and the International Center of Photography.
Johanne Rahaman is a Trinidad-born, Miami-based photographer. Her work highlights the beauty and dynamism of black life in inner cities and small towns in Florida, from the point of view of its residents. Her ongoing project, Black Florida, was born out of a desire to contest mainstream racialized narratives.
