Description
Spatializing Blackness explores how carceral power functions in places where African Americans live. This geographic study examines the ways confinement is created and contained through policing, surveillance, urban planning, and incarceration. By investigating the role of containment in subordinating African American bodies and gender performance from the Progressive Era to the present, Rashad Shabazz sheds light on the racialization of space and its consequences for black communities and black masculinity. The study delves into forgotten facts from diverse sources, including maps and memoirs, to uncover the ordinary ways carceral power operates. It also examines how mechanisms of confinement came to exist, why they were aimed at African Americans, and their ongoing impact on black communities today. This timely analysis offers a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between space, containment, and black masculinity in Chicago's history.
