You Haven't Asked About My Wedding Or What I Wore
During more than thirty years of reading reminiscences, diaries, and letters of forgotten North American pioneer women, poet Jana Harris noticed one narrative recurring time and again: the most powerful memory these women had was often either their courtship and wedding, or the courtship and wedding of a family member. While these young women, who most likely hauled water in a wooden bucket from creek to house and then wore her knees raw scrubbing splintery floors (if she was lucky enough to live in a home that had a floor), dreamed of a fine wedding, it was sometimes with a man they hardly knew. Harris captures the hope, anxiety, anger, and despair of these women through a variety of voices and poetic strategies. Based on interviews of 19th century frontier women conducted during the 1920 s and 30 s, the voices and images of these powerful women speak: Nowhere / on these parchment leaves do I find / myself, my likeness, my name, / not a whisper "Cynthia" not one / breath of me. Sculpted out of years of research and accompanied by archival photographs, these poems imagine the memoirs of forgotten frontier women and children. "

Feeding New Orleans
After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, many high-profile chefs in New Orleans pledged to help their city rebound from the flooding. Several formed their own charitable organizations, including the John Besh Foundation, to help revitalize the region and its restaurant scene. A year and a half after the disaster when the total number of open restaurants eclipsed the pre-Katrina count, it was embraced as a sign that the city itself had survived, and these chefs arguably became the de facto heroes of the city’s recovery. Meanwhile, food justice organizations tried to tap into the city’s legendary food culture to fundraise, marketing high-end dining events that centered these celebrity chefs. Jeann...

On the Road for Work
Migratory farm workers provide the extra hands that are so badly needed during the planting and harvest season in the United States. Although these workers have been essential to the American agricultural system for more than a hundred years, our knowledge of them is limited and quite fragmentary; it can be divided roughly into two types of information. On the one hand, we have the statistical data collected by various censuses and the data gathered by agricultural econ omists to study the supply of and demand for farm labor. The economic aspects of farm labor generally predominate in such material. On the other, we have the scientific studies and journalistic descriptions that report on mig...
