A Logic of Care and Black Grassroots Claims to Home in Detroit
This article examines the ways in which Detroit Eviction Defense (DED) and other activist organisations employ a logic of care to argue for Black Detroiters’ right to define who may claim home and place in the city. The article uses the foreclosure case of longtime Detroiter Lela Whitfield to examine the ways in which DED successfully resists eviction by arguing publicly that legitimate claims to land and home should be based on how one cares for…
