Publisher's Synopsis
Flour, water, and salt. These are the sole ingredients that make 'Hardtack': a Civil War-era food long-associated with survivalism, land migration, and its extremely long shelf life. Drawing from this history as a metaphor for the long-enduring nature of Black culture and traditions, 'Hardtack' uncovers the roots that tie Fortune's native landscape to the conflicts and nuances associated with the post-emancipation Americas.
