Abstract:This excerpt is the chapter titled "The Cultural Appropriation of Collard Greens: Food Insecurity and the ClimateCrisis" from Before The Streetlights Come On: Black America's Call for Climate Solutions (BroadLeaf Publishing, 2023). The chapterlinks together climate crisis, policy, and food deserts. Produce inflation—like the absurd pricing of three collard green stalks in a health foods store, just miles from boundless fields of homegrown greens—is a phenomenon of global warming's effect on farming and its broad implications on the global food system. Such implications contribute to the growing number of food deserts across the US and their direct correlation to climate crisis and our current governmental food assistance program's shortcomings. Toney reveals Black Americans' response to this injustice, and how the nation at large can learn from the solutions being surfaced by the Black community, like vegan lifestyles, cruelty-free animal care, and home gardening. The very community disproportionately affected by climate crisis can lead the way in changing it.

Megan Mayhew Bergman
Abstract:The author describes a journey to her home state of North Carolina from Vermont to find a more profound connection from which to draw for her environmental and fictional writing. Thinking of a place that she can call home, she drives through the state, specifically the Inner Banks region, while considering her personal experiences with the area and intimate understanding of its idiosyncrasies. She also contemplates the difficulty of portraying these elements and their complexities in a genuine way that is free of hyperbole. A particular focus is the area's environmental context and how it contributes to and is affected by climate change, which ultimately leads the author to a realization about her lack of true understanding of the Inner Banks, and the importance of learning about it in a more personal way.

Abstract:Human beings live on a planet with mostly water at the surface, and that water takes decades to warm up or cool off. That means what one generation does to change climate—such as add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere—the next generation must live with. The impacts of climate change are substantial and growing. Natural scientists need to pay attention to the social sciences and the humanities, as climate change has a clear societal impact and a policy solution is required to address climate change. Humans are causing climate change, and humans must fix that, and our capacity to choose a destructive path at the expense of future generations requires an understanding of more than the natural sciences. Today, we have interdisciplinary environmental degrees and a stated adherence to a liberal arts education. Until one generation is willing to forego short-term gains for the long-term benefit of its children, we won't be able to address climate change.

Abstract:In this interview, Katharine Hayhoe discusses the regional dimensions and impacts of climate change on the American South. Topics discussed include Texas and the energy sector, the pandemic, climate dismissives, solution aversion, political polarization, Christian identity and climate change, solutions to the climate crisis, definitions of environmentalism, and conducting productive climate conversations.

Danielle M Purifoy
Abstract:In this introduction to the special issue of Southern Cultures on Black Geographies, Danielle Purifoy reflects on her family’s spatial trajectory from the Great Migration of the mid-twentieth century to her own upbringing in Durham, North Carolina, to demonstrate the spatial liberation strategies of Afro-diasporic peoples that flow through, away, and toward the global South. Black geographies interrupt dominant geographic thought predicated on colonialism, slavery, and marginalization, and offer alternative ways to imagine the world. Global southern spaces have always been sites of freedom experiments against oppression and toward more livable worlds. This issue of Southern Cultures and its online complement offer stories, meditations, and inquiries about the myriad spatial practices of Black liberation.
