We Are Not Slaves: State Violence, Coerced Labor, and Prisoners’ Rights in Postwar America
In the waning years of the Clinton presidency, academics began their deep dive into the nation's prison crisis. Reflecting on the period between the late 1960s and the dawn of the twenty-first century, scholars across the academy, from epidemiology to geography, examined prisons and the behemoth “prison industrial complex.” There has been no shortage of deep insights gleaned from these works. So much is to be understood from studying prisons beca…

We gon be alright: Containment, Creativity, and the Birth of Hip-Hop
In the United States, Black cultural production is bound up with geographic containment, restrictions on mobility, and racial segregation. Jazz, hip-hop, house music, and the Minneapolis Sound (the music associated with late recording artist, Prince) were mid-wifed by some of the most repressive systems of geographic order. Indeed, containment and creativity, geographies of trouble and hope are hallmarks of Black cultural production. This dialect…
“Sores in the city”
Since the 1960s there has been a revival of the practice of solitary confinement in the U.S.A., not just as a mere component of the prison system but as an increasingly institutionalized long-term practice. Prevailing interpretations of this practice disconnect the post-1980s proliferation of penal isolation from its experimental use in the 1960s and 1970s as a tactic of behavior modification, and even more so from its nineteenth-century origins …
Spatializing Blackness: Architectures of Confinement and Black Masculinity in Chicago
Over 277,000 African Americans migrated to Chicago between 1900 and 1940, an influx unsurpassed in any other northern city. From the start, carceral powers literally and figuratively created a prison-like environment to contain these African Americans within the so-called Black Belt on the city's South Side. A geographic study of race and gender, this book casts light upon the ubiquitous—and ordinary—ways carceral power functions in places where …

Masculinity and the mic: Confronting the uneven geography of hip-hop
This article explores the uneven gendered geographies of rap music. It argues that Black men's blocked access to culturally dominant masculinity, vis-à-vis access to public space – and the resulting containment of Black men within Black communities – has produced an overly compensatory form of masculinity, for which access to and control of the public domain within Black communities is essential for access to hegemonic masculinity. Rapidly declin…
Gender and sexual geographies of Blackness: New Black cartographies of resistance and survival (part 2)
The articles in part 2 of the themed section Gender and Sexual Geographies of Blackness focus on the creation of new cartographies of resistance, struggle, and survival in which black gender and sexual minority communities are engaged. Using black feminist readings of gender, sexuality, and geography as a point of departure, we consider the complex challenges that black gender and sexual minorities pose to conventional feminists and queer reading…
How Racism Takes Place. George Lipsitz
Justice et injustices spatiales
Le débat sur la justice et l'injustice est central et urgent dans les sociétés démocratiques, et la justice sociale est l'horizon de la plupart des politiques d'action sur les territoires. Mais le doute sur les grands récits explicatifs du monde a conduit souvent à relativiser tout discours sur la justice. Ce processus est renforcé par l'émergence de mouvements sociaux divers (féministes, écologistes, anti-racistes...) et par le développement du …
So High You Can't Get Over it, So Low You Can't Get Under it: Carceral Spatiality and Black Masculinities in the United States and South Africa
Carceral or prison space and the techniques that make prison punishment possible shape Black living and working space and in turn influence Black masculine performance. This essay uses the Robert Taylor Housing Projects—a notorious project on Chicago's South Side—and South Africa's mining compounds, as case studies. It exhumes the carceral logic that underwrote these spaces by highlighting how the project and the mine compound drew on containment…
