      By McKittrick, Katherine  Woods, Clyde Adrian
       2007., Between the Lines ; South End Press Call No: BLK 305.896 B627b    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: The global history of black people cannot be told without addressing powerful geographical shifts: massive forced migration, land dispossession, and legal as well as informal structures of segregation. From the Middle Passage to the "Whites Only" signposts of North American apartheid, the black disaporic experience is rooted firmly in the politics of place. Literature ahs long explored cultural differences in the experience of blackness in different quarters of the diaspora. But what are the real differences between being a maroon in the hills of Jamaica, a fugitive slave in Chatham, Ontario, and a runaway in the swamps of Florida? How does location impact repression and resistance, both on the ground and in the terrain of political imagination? Enter Black Geographies. In this path-breaking collection, twelve authors interrogate the intersections between space and race. For instance, some scholars, activists, and communities have sought to protect, restore, and reimagine black historical sites. Yet each of these locations has in common acts of racial hatred and state terrorism that have erased black geographies, leaving few historical structures standing. This begs the question: Can preserving and restoring such sites promote social justice and spur community redevelopment?Black geographies-invisible and visible, past and present-pose revealing questions about the politics, and possibilities, of place.
