Current Issue

FOOD INTERSECTIONS IN THE AMERICAS
Food is a powerful indicator of the state of society. It reflects the traditions, injustices, transformations, dynamics and values that define the social and cultural life of a group. Understanding food in this context allows us to address issues of sustainability, health, citizenship and culture in a deeper way, promoting a dialog about how we can build a fairer, more inclusive and more conscious society through what we put or don't put on our tables. Thus, paying attention to how we eat and the reasons for it is, at the same time, looking at the essence of our collective humanity.
In this issue, Raca invites readers to explore the intersection of food, nutrition, commensality, spirituality, and sustainability across the Americas, encouraging deeper reflection on the social and cultural dimensions embodied in our culinary traditions.
