Dark Agoras: Insurgent Black Social Life and the Politics of Place
A funky rejoinder
Seven months after naming and claiming chocolate cities everywhere, Parliament Funkadelic floated above Washington, D.C. where they eventually found themselves hitting it on the one aboard the Moth
Chocolate cities: The Black map of American life
When you think of a map of the United States, what do you see? Now think of the Seattle that begot Jimi Hendrix. The Dallas that shaped Erykah Badu. The Holly Springs, Mississippi, that compelled Ida B. Wells to activism against lynching. The Birmingham where Martin Luther King, Jr., penned his most famous missive. Now how do you see the United States? Chocolate Cities offers a new cartography of the United States--a "Black Map" that more accurat…
Black Placemaking: Celebration, Play, and Poetry
Using Chicago as our case, this article puts forth a notion of black placemaking that privileges the creative, celebratory, playful, pleasurable, and poetic experiences of being black and being around other black people in the city.

The deficit frame includes scholarship …

When the author of this book returned home to interview African Americans in Memphis, she was often greeted with some version of the caution “I hope you know this ain't Chicago.” This work critiques ideas of black identity constructed through a northern lens and situates African Americans as central shapers of contemporary southern culture. Analytically separating black southerners from their migrating cousins, fictive kin, and white counterparts…
