A Black Woman's Flight Poem
“A Black Woman's Flight Poem” represents an experimental poetic exploration into how we might give language to Black femme ethnographic world making in our own tongues, and on our own terms. Written with undergraduate and graduate students in feminists and African and African Diasporic students in mind, I use the term Black ethnography to signify emotionally and politically engaged scholarly reflections that are used to build knowledge about cont…
Black Ethnography, Black(Female)Aesthetics
This essay articulates the possibilities of writing black ethnography that centers black and diasporic ways of knowing and thinking time, space, and place that are emptied of the modernist strictures of the formal essay. Black ethnography is conceived of as a decolonial, art-making practice that refuses genre as well as disciplinarity. Elaborating on Hortense Spiller's theory of interior intersubjectivity, this essay turns toward symbolic economi…
Race and Racialization
Racialization involves the production and justification of hierarchies of difference through appeals to notions of superiority and inferiority. This chapter considers multiple views of racialization, ranging from accounts of racial formation, intersectionality, matrices of domination, and assemblages to analyses of colonialism, enslavement, and capitalist accumulation by dispossession. In contrast to discredited biological notions of race, it dra…
Urban Black Women and the Politics of Resistance
Contemporary urban spaces are critical sites of resistance for black women. By focusing on the spatial aspects of political resistance of black women in Newark, this book provides new ways of understa
Can't I be seen? Can't I be heard? Black women queering politics in Newark
What does it mean for a black female to negotiate urban space? How is her body read, her politics enacted, and her agency understood and interpreted? How do black women use their bodies and identities to challenge structural intersectionality in US cities? To answer these questions, I explore how black women embraced a set of oppositional spatial practices to resist the intersectional effects of misogyny, homo/transphobia, racism, and poverty in …
Women, Hip Hop, and Cultural Resistance in Dubai
This article uses an ethnographic methodology grounded in a transversal understanding of both black feminism and hip hop politics. Using ethnographic fieldwork, including interviews with eight black identified "third culture" women in Dubai, UAE, and featuring three of those interviews, I argue that hip hop provides an important point of encounter to negotiate local to local connections in ways that undermine the national boundaries erected by st…
The Politics of Homemaking
In this paper, I develop a political theory of homemaking that attempts to make sense of how space, place, and identity shape black women's political activism. I examine and retell the spatial stories black women activists shared with me in order to clarify how gender and racialization impact black women's conceptions and practice of contemporary grassroots politics. I explore how memory and affect in shape black women's political work by careful…
