Demonic grounds: Black women, geography and the poetics of landscape.
McKittrick, Katherine Jane.

Demonic grounds: Black women, geography and the poetics of landscape. - 222 p.

Adviser: Linda Peake.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--York University (Canada), 2003.

The following dissertation argues that the material and conceptual geographies of black women in Canada, the Caribbean and the USA, are under-acknowledged, but meaningful sites of political opposition. The study draws on black women's theoretical, material, and poetic geographies and investigates the ways in which these spatialities are intertwined with dominant geographic formulations, such as transatlantic slavery and contemporary racial-sexual displacements. It is suggested that the interplay between geographic domination and black women's geographies discloses analytical sites of limitation and possibility. That is, conceptual and material geographies adversely shape black women's spatial opportunities and create a viable arena through which they assert their particular geographic histories and demands.

520 $a The following dissertation argues that the material and conceptual geographies of black women in Canada, the Caribbean and the USA, are under-acknowledged, but meaningful sites of political opposition. The study draws on black women's theoretical, material, and poetic geographies and investigates the ways in which these spatialities are intertwined with dominant geographic formulations, such as transatlantic slavery and contemporary racial-sexual displacements. It is suggested that the interplay between geographic domination and black women's geographies discloses analytical sites of limitation and possibility. That is, conceptual and material geographies adversely shape black women's spatial opportunities and create a viable arena through which they assert their particular geographic histories and demands.
520 $a The project combines human geography, black studies and black feminist studies to illuminate the kinds and types of geographies black women have negotiated and produced during and after transatlantic slavery. I illustrate that black women have a unique and long geographic history that is often concealed by dominant geographic projects such as slavery, colonialism, and patriarchy. Specifically, the geographic legacy of transatlantic slavery is used as an entry point to analyze the ways in which black women's geographic negotiations are produced alongside and across domination. The study examines slave auction blocks, colonial New France, and the geographies of Harriet Jacobs, Marie-Joseph Angelique, and Sylvia Wynter to demonstrate that black womanhood is, in part, shaped through hierarchically organized racial-sexual geographies.
520 $a While the geographies during and after transatlantic slavery indicate that spatial domination enacts social hierarchies, it is also emphasized that black women are not passive recipients of their surroundings. Central to my argument are the ways in which black women innovatively work with material and conceptual geographies and produce alternative spatial practices. The geographies of black womanhood are discussed in relation to the poetics of landscape (saying, expressing, feeling, writing, and living geography) and their real spatial struggles. Thus, the alterability of slave and post-slave geographies are clarified through black women's spatial practices that transform material and conceptual geographies into usable sites of resistance, indicating what I call more humanly workable geographies.
