Ko Bragg, Race and Place Editor of Scalawag Magazine, is looking for pitches:
This is my first week as Scalawag Magazine's Race & Place Editor. Pitch me! I'm looking for stories connecting the legacy and lasting role of race when it comes to incarceration, segregation, gentrification, nutrition, migration, liberation in the South.
RACE & PLACE:
Scalawag's Race & Place coverage pushes the boundaries of traditional conversations about incarceration, segregation, gentrification, nutrition, migration, liberation, and more. Our stories help folks better understand both the nuances of how places are made (and for whom) and how we can actualize our dreams and transform power in the places we call home.
We are interested in stories that show the connections between the legacy and lasting role of race in Southern places big and small, from porches and penitentiaries to places of worship and port cities—and everywhere in between.
We welcome submissions from writers who are rooted in community and eager to build on our work exploring food traditions in the South, investigating the way our carceral system continues the legacy of slavery, and illuminating the role of historically Black institutions.
