Make Buckhead great again
This article engages with the spatial dynamics of reactionary authoritarianism in white urban secession movements around Atlanta. These movements seek to incorporate, annex, de-annex, or otherwise utilize municipal boundary change to carve off exclusive communities from a diverse metro. Such movements have, for almost two decades, traded largely on the austerity logics of neoliberal urbanism and privatized governance; recent secessionist efforts,…
Traces of Our Interregnum
Interregnum is that moment of crisis in society wherein forces of dislocation and disruption cause, or at least open space for, the potential collapse or reorganization of hegemonic order, the space of the not-yet and, as such, epistemically opaque. It is this image which perhaps best captures those early and unsettling days of the pandemic: moments and spaces which I now attempt to represent herein through selected meditations on everyday life. …
A better place to be”? Black Mecca, White democracy, and the contradictions of neoliberal cityhood in Atlanta’s Black suburbs
In November of 2016, the City of Stonecrest was carved out of Atlanta’s suburban Black Mecca. The hope was that the new city’s “brand” might bring development and increased wealth to an area which has borne the brunt of uneven development, racialized urban secession, and racial capitalism for many decades. The case of Stonecrest points to several interesting tensions, contradictions, and necessary reckonings around race, class, and neoliberal urb…
Rehumanizing the graduate seminar by embracing ambiguity
This Viewpoint introduces the Athena Co-Learning Collective: A group of faculty and graduate students at the University of Georgia committed to teaching and learning differently in the academy. In particular, we describe the Athena Co-Learning Collective’s efforts to reject masculine forms of teaching and learning that are characteristic of the traditional seminar. Instead, we focus on rehumanization, as offered by Katherine McKittrick, to render…
The Limits of Homeownership
In the wake of the 2007-08 housing crash, the Black-white wealth gap reached a staggering 20 to 1. Since then, a growing chorus of influential voices has proposed measures to increase the Black homeownership rate as a means to narrow the gap. Others, however, have argued that the uneven racial geography of home price appreciation necessarily restricts the degree to which Black households, in the aggregate, can build wealth via homeownership. We a…
