The contributors to The Black Geographic explore the theoretical
innovations of Black Geographies scholarship and how it approaches
Blackness as historically and spatially situated. In studies that
span from Oakland to the Alabama Black Belt to Senegal to Brazil,
the contributors draw on ethnography, archival records, digital
humanities, literary criticism, and art to show how understanding
the spatial dimensions of Black life contributes to a broader
understanding of race and space. They examine key sites of inquiry:
Black spatial imaginaries, resistance to racial violence, the
geographies of racial capitalism, and struggles over urban space.
Throughout, the contributors demonstrate that Blackness is itself a
situating and place-making force, even as it is shaped by spatial
processes and diasporic routes. Whether discussing eighteenth- and
nineteenth-century abolitionist print records or migration and
surveillance in Niger, this volume demonstrates that Black
Geographies is a mode of analyzing Blackness that fundamentally
challenges the very foundations of the field of geography and its
historical entwinement with colonialism, enslavement, and
imperialism. In short, it marks a new step in the evolution of the
field. Contributors. Anna Livia Brand, C.N.E. Corbin, Lindsey
Dillon, Chiyuma Elliott, Ampson Hagan, Camilla Hawthorne, Matthew
Jordan-Miller Kenyatta, Jovan Scott Lewis, Judith Madera, Jordanna

This edited volume aims to problematise and rethink the
contemporary European migrant crisis in the Central Mediterranean
through the lens of the Black Mediterranean. Bringing together
scholars working in geography, political theory, sociology, and
cultural studies, this volume takes the Black Mediterranean as a
starting point for asking and answering a set of crucial questions
about the racialized production of borders, bodies, and citizenship
in contemporary Europe: what is the role of borders in controlling
migrant flows from North Africa and the Middle East?; what is the
place for black bodies in the Central Mediterranean context?; what
is the relevance of the citizenship in reconsidering black
subjectivities in Europe? The volume will be divided into three
parts. After the introduction, which will provide an overview of
the theoretical framework and the individual contributions, Part I
focuses on the problem of borders, Part II features essays focused
on the body, and Part III is dedicated to citizenship.
Contesting Race and Citizenship is an original study of Black
politics and varieties of political mobilization in Italy. Although
there is extensive research on first-generation immigrants and
refugees who traveled from Africa to Italy, there is little
scholarship about the experiences of Black people who were born and
raised in Italy. Camilla Hawthorne focuses on the ways Italians of
African descent have become entangled with processes of redefining
the legal, racial, cultural, and economic boundaries of Italy and
by extension, of Europe itself. Contesting Race and Citizenship
opens discussions of the so-called migrant "crisis" by focusing on
a generation of Black people who, although born or raised in Italy,
have been thrust into the same racist, xenophobic political climate
as the immigrants and refugees who are arriving in Europe from the
African continent. Hawthorne traces not only mobilizations for
national citizenship but also the more capacious, transnational
Black diasporic possibilities that emerge when activists confront
the ethical and political limits of citizenship as a means for
securing meaningful, lasting racial justice—possibilities that
are based on shared critiques of the racial state and shared
histories of racial capitalism and colonialism.
