Abstract
Abstract:In this introduction to the special issue of Southern Cultures on Black Geographies, Danielle Purifoy reflects on her family’s spatial trajectory from the Great Migration of the mid-twentieth century to her own upbringing in Durham, North Carolina, to demonstrate the spatial liberation strategies of Afro-diasporic peoples that flow through, away, and toward the global South. Black geographies interrupt dominant geographic thought predicated on colonialism, slavery, and marginalization, and offer alternative ways to imagine the world. Global southern spaces have always been sites of freedom experiments against oppression and toward more livable worlds. This issue of Southern Cultures and its online complement offer stories, meditations, and inquiries about the myriad spatial practices of Black liberation.
期刊介绍：
In the foreword to the first issue of the The Southern Literary Journal, published in November 1968, founding editors Louis D. Rubin, Jr. and C. Hugh Holman outlined the journal"s objectives: "To study the significant body of southern writing, to try to understand its relationship to the South, to attempt through it to understand an interesting and often vexing region of the American Union, and to do this, as far as possible, with good humor, critical tact, and objectivity--these are the perhaps impossible goals to which The Southern Literary Journal is committed." Since then The Southern Literary Journal has published hundreds of essays by scholars of southern literature examining the works of southern writers and the ongoing development of southern culture.
