Geographies and Futurities of Being: Radical Black Activism in a Context of Anti-Black Islamophobia in 1990s Montreal
|
| Abstract |
The author analyzes the connecting political, spatial, and spiritual aims of Black activists in 1990s Montreal. She investigates how they worked at reconfiguring the Black community in Montreal against the East/West-French/English divide. She also examines how the White anti-racist Left developed anti-Black Islamophobic discourses against radical Black activists who were Muslim and/or associated with Islam. Lastly, she pays particular attention to the role of spirituality in the visions that radical Black activists had for the Black community in Montreal. The author concludes that her research offers a way to understand how Black geographies emerge and how they exceed geographies of domination. It seeks to contribute to a body of literature in Black geography though an investigation of how Black radical organizing reimagines and transforms space and place.
