McKittrick (Queen's U., Canada) and Woods (U. of California at Santa Barbara, US) present a diverse set of 11 essays that explore black geographies or, in other words, space as "it is articulated through the physical, imaginary, and political concerns of black diasporic subjects." Topics include critiques of neoliberal geographies that are found embedded in the blues; how to theorize the Underground Railroad as a complex, non-linear, diasporic geography; the travels of fugitive slave Henry Box Brown as a form of resistance that is geopolitically diasporic; and geographies of performance practices such as slave-ship dances, blues geographies, urban ghettos, and the kwaito music genre in post-apartheid South Africa.
