Chocolate Cities: The Black Map of American Life

 

We will be joined by Professor Marcus Hunter from the department of African American Studies at UCLA and Professor Zandria Robinson from Rhodes College for our next CoDE seminar on Thursday 24 May 2018. This seminar will take place in the boardroom (2.016/17) in the Arthur Lewis Building (36 on the campus map). The seminar will begin at 1pm and is scheduled to end at 3pm

 

Abstract: From Central District Seattle to Holly Springs to Harlem, Black people have built a dynamic network of cities where black culture is maintained, created, and defended. But imagine—what if our current maps of black life are wrong? Chocolate Cities offers a refreshingly persuasive cartography of the United States—a “Black Map” that more accurately reflects the lived experiences and the future of Black life in America. The book draws on film, fiction, music, and oral history to map the Black American experience of race, place, and liberation from slavery to freedom. And as the United States moves toward a majority minority society, Chocolate Cities provides a provocative, broad, and necessary assessment of how racial and ethnic minorities make and change America’s social, economic, and political landscape.
