Demonic Grounds

<P><B>The field-defining text for black geographies – now with a new foreword and afterword</B></P><P>The initial publication of <I>Demonic Grounds</I> in 2006 marked a watershed for the field of geography: revealing how human geographies are a result of racialized connections and black placemaking practices, this book opened the discipline to feminist, interdisciplinary, and black perspectives. Katherine McKittrick traces the geographies of black women across the diaspora, arguing that the spaces they inhabit are marked by legacies of violence and slavery while also being sites of unacknowledged political power. Making a forceful claim, she identifies rich opportunities within black geographies for social and cultural change and rebellion. With a new foreword by Simone Browne and comments from Sylvia Wynter on the original edition as an afterword, this twentieth-anniversary edition celebrates <I>Demonic Grounds</I> and its ongoing influence on twenty-first century geography.</P><P><B>Retail e-book files for this title are screen-reader friendly.</B></P>
