Family
The final weekend of our 2020 Fall Symposium wrestles with questions of Family, with blood, legacy, and identity. Follow journalist José Ralat on a Sur-Mex themed road trip with his son in the year 2040, complete with potlikker salsas and curry powder-dusted churros. Sampling an assemblage of hog killing narratives from his Mississippi Delta family, scholar Brian Foster frames a conversation between past, present, and plural futures, realized through practice and work. We close with a film by Zaire Love, awarding this year’s John Egerton Prize to Ashtin Berry, a hospitality advocate and educator who champions historical and contemporary contributions of the Black Diaspora across food, beverage, and agriculture.
José Ralat holds the title of taco editor for Texas Monthly and is sought after for his authoritative and expansive knowledge of local, regional, and national taco scenes. (The New York Times called him “an expert on the folklore of the taco.”) His book American Tacos: A History and Guide, which explores the evolution and diversity of the U.S. taco landscape, was published in 2020.
