"Who Eats at Taco Bell?" was a platform for thinking about how the interlocking dynamics of immigration, social race, and colonialism in U.S.-American history continue to resonate with a range of critical themes: socio-economic mobility, movement and borders, assimilation and appropriation, and Cultural Citizenship—the right to be who one is and still belong, as a first-class citizen, in a participatory democratic sense. In support of this project, we launched a two-month expedition over the National Historic Lewis and Clark Trail, making various stops at venues along this 11-state journey. All the while, we made tacos with people, prompted dialogue, and invited various forms of engagement around the question: What is it going to take for us to truly live inter-culturally?
