“Where Are All the Black People At?”
In Rochester, New York—a highly segregated midsize postindustrial city in the US Rust Belt—the social and physical erasure of Blackness is built into the landscape. Blending experimental and traditional ethnographic exposition, this article interrogates several ways that urban racial exclusion is achieved through modes as wide ranging as policy, demolition, community-engaged design processes, city mapping, and cultural and historical preservation…
Citation
This experimental essay examines citation as a multifaceted feminist keyword and praxis that is political, epistemological, mathematical, personal, temporal, navigational, correctional, capital, methodological, and aspirational. The piece itself is a performative journey through the myriad processes, politics, and poetics of citation, an attempt to embody citation's inherently in/elegant awkwardness, the way it can serve as a deeply personal wind…
Practicing community geography in times of crisis
American Elegy, Reflux
This is a meditation on bad air as a defining bodily, temporal, political, and atmospheric condition of the twenty-first-century American Dream. In 2020, the novel viral respiratory illness COVID-19 stole the final breaths of nearly 350,000 Americans (and severely damaged the lungs of many, many more). George Floyd and Daniel Prude, unarmed and Black, were suffocated by the police in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Rochester, New York, respectively. …

American Elegy
On March 26, 2018, Jennifer Hart drove her SUV off a cliff along the northern coast of California with her partner and at least five of their transracially adopted Black children inside. Their remains were recovered at the crash site. As of this writing, a sixth child, Devonte, remains missing and is presumed dead. Four years before the crash, Devonte was famously photographed at the age of twelve, tearfully hugging a white police officer at a Fe…
Kathryn Mariner's Contingent Kinship
Who you are in these pieces of paper
At First Steps, a small private adoption agency outside Chicago, social workers spent more time processing paperwork than interacting with clients. In addition to mediating the relationship between individuals and the bureaucratic adoption apparatus, these documents created anticipatory (p)re-kinned subjectivities. Based on ethnographic fieldwork carried out between 2009 and 2016, this article examines the completion and circulation of two differ…
White Parents, Black Care
In Chicago, transracial adoption often unites white parents and Black children who are visibly different from one another and share no biogenetic connection. Although anthropologists in the United States have long understood that kinship is not biological, the enduring cultural grounding of Blackness in ancestry and the body repeatedly upsets a solely social understanding of kinship. Within the context of transracial adoption, contested claims to…
The Specular Un/Making of Kinship
In the United States, social workers play an immense yet understudied role in the production of adoptive kinship, acting as gatekeepers to certain forms of parenthood. During the adoption process, the social worker's observing gaze often comes to rest on the womb and the home as spaces vital to the creation, dissolution, and unfolding of both biological and adoptive kinship. In this article, I juxtapose two visual technologies within adoption soc…
