Weeping cherry tree, Lake Eden, Black Mountain, North Carolina, 2016. Photograph by Lisa McCarty. Spring 2021 // Human/Nature • 1 ELCOME TO THIS special Human/Nature issue of Southern Cultures. We are honored to have historian Andy Horowitz as our guest editor, on the heels of his brilliant new book Katrina: A History, 1915–2015, Wpublished in 2020. In it, Andy details the destructive forces that led to Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath, notably, that Katrina was not just a natural disaster but also a human disaster shaped by decades of flawed policy, racism, and corporate-led en - vironmental degradation, forces that also continue to shape the current covid-19 pandemic. In this issue, the essayists take us to spaces where southerners and nature have interacted in both historic and evolving narratives, from the coasts of Hilton Head Island in South Carolina to the bayous of Louisiana. They examine the politics, battles, achievements, and losses, as well as the icons, symbols, and representations of specic en fi vironmental moments in the American South. I am struck by the deeply physical and emotional engagement with landscape that these scholars, writers, and artists reveal. Jeffery U. Darensbourg resuscitates ancestral memories of bison hunting by
