In Rochester, New York—a highly segregated midsize postindustrial city in the US Rust Belt—the social and physical erasure of Blackness is built into the landscape. Blending experimental and traditional ethnographic exposition, this article interrogates several ways that urban racial exclusion is achieved through modes as wide ranging as policy, demolition, community‐engaged design processes, city mapping, and cultural and historical preservation. The conceptual frameworks of racialized space and Black geographies illuminate the importance of attending to historical and contemporary reverberations of racialized spatial exclusion. A “report back” from ongoing multimodal fieldwork that began in 2018, this article lays groundwork for further exploration of the entanglements of enduring historical racialized patterns of dispossession, contemporary techniques of exclusion, and imagined future respatializations in segregated urban environments.

In 1997 the incomparable Leith Mullings published On Our Own Terms, a collection of essays. Some of these essays were highly acclaimed articles that had been previously published elsewhere or first presented as an influential conference paper circa 1982 to 1996. When the essays were collected, revised, and polished as a body, the result was the pioneering, classic text in Black feminist anthropology, and at large, feminist anthropology. Almost twenty-five years later, On Our Own Terms still provides a template for understanding the critical importance of native anthropology/memoir, history, political economy, the politics of health and illness, and praxis in Black feminist anthropological discourses. Mullings’s opus directs our attention not only to her scholarship, but also to a way to find “a cure” for racism through social science endeavors, in the classroom and in social movements. Moreover, she notes that we (meaning progressive academics/Black feminist anthropologists) have the moral and theoretical responsibility to take action with the goal of being responsible to our community at home and throughout the African Diaspora (Mullings 1997, xix). On Our Own Terms shows how to do this, not with a set of policy recommendations or strategies for action, but with theoretical guidance so as to make it possible for the reader to move forward in their own deliberations. This essay focuses on the influential, groundbreaking, pioneering text On Our Own Terms by reviewing the particulars of the text and its overarching themes. This is followed by how the book’s preface and chapter 6, “Images, Ideology, and Women of Color,” were used in an undergraduate course at the University of Maryland, College Park, as part of the curriculum in Introduction to Black Women’s Studies. This course is one of the prerequisites for earning a Minor in Black Women’s Studies (BWMST), jointly offered by the Women’s Gender and Sexuality Studies (WGSS) department and the African American Studies Department (AASD). Leith Mullings’s scholarship was front and center of the Introduction to Black Women’s Studies (WMST 263) syllabi when I taught the course every other year from 2000 to 2014. When I was on leave, one of my advisees took over the class, often using versions of my syllabi as guides.

This article uses Leith Mullings’s intersectional approach to health disparities combined with a novel focus on the impact of direct care jobs on workers’ bodies in order to illuminate the everyday experiences of African immigrant direct health care workers in the Greater Pittsburgh metropolitan area. The research for this article is based on thirty interviews with African immigrant direct care workers conducted in 2014. Specifically, by examining direct care workers’ experiences of being physically and verbally abused by patients, and by exploring the impact of extremely high rates of physical injury on the job, this article aims to show the bodily burdens, the physical embodied costs, that direct care workers bear and carry for the larger society related to caring for the elderly and cognitively and physically disabled patients. A focus on the body shows how American labor sectors, including direct care, are shaped by racialized and gendered social orders that immigrants must face after their arrival in the United States.
