This special issue of Social and Cultural Geography presents seven empirically focused examples of recent research on ‘race’ being undertaken in North America by geographers and others sympathetic to an analysis predicated upon a socio-spatial dynamic. While not presented as a comprehensive survey or synopsis of the broad range of geographic research on ‘race’ and racism currently underway, we hope nevertheless to contribute to the renaissance, highlighting some important research questions, themes and points of connection among geographers, as well as to researchers in cognate elds.
