Description:
It is now generally acknowledged amongst geographers and other urban scholars that understanding the history and evolution of the American city is inextricable from understanding the history and evolution of racism. This pair of sessions provides a historical perspective on the ways that urban development in the United States has been persistently driven by anti-Black racism and, simultaneously, the assertion of whiteness as the norm for how urban space should be structured and governed. Drawing from both qualitative and quantitative studies of how whiteness and anti-Blackness have been infused in a variety of urban processes - from mortgage lending to architectural design and infrastructural development to urban renewal - these sessions bring together papers that elucidate the fundamentally racialized processes that shape the North American city and its changes over time.
