Abstract
Feeding oneself is labor. It is quotidian labor, and that labor is racialized and gendered--food scholars have long established this. My work adds to this conversation by exploring the socio-economic circumstances under which differently classed contemporary Black Southerners take on this labor. I share stories and insights of my time in kitchens, grocery stores, soup kitchens, and fine dining restaurants with Mississippians as they feed themselves.
