Interviewed about Ethics in Research:
I was interviewed on my research methodology as part of a scholarly roundtable in the US Latina & Latino Oral History Journal, joining fellow scholars in a substantive conversation about oral history practice, community collaboration, and the ethics of documenting Latina/o/x lived experiences.
Quoted on Christmas Day in the Washington Post:
Arelis Hernandez wrote a devastatingly brilliant piece entitled, “For one migrant family, no Christmas lights in New Orleans.” In the article, she discusses the connections between New Orleans and Honduras. Here’s my quote: “Hondurans are integral to the history of this place,” said Sarah Fouts. “They’ve created homes and they’ve made their spaces and earned their spaces visibly in churches, through restaurants and local soccer leagues. But there are also ways in which they are invisible within the rebuilt infrastructure.”

I discussed my book Rebuilding New Orleans: Immigrant Laborers and Street Food Vendors in the Post-Katrina Era on the show’s September 8, 2025 livestream.
Interviewed by Current Affairs Magazine
The article, “How Hurricane Katrina Paved the Way for American Fascism,” was originally published in our magazine’s hallowed print edition July/Aug 2025. Nathan Robinson writes, “For New Orleanians like Black Panther community organizer Malik Rahim and author Sarah Fouts, the hurricane that struck the city 20 years ago marked a pivotal moment in America’s shift toward the political right.” And I say some stuff. Honored to be on the same pages as Malik Rahim.
