In Canada, the Caribbean, and the United States, black women inhabit diasporic locations marked by the legacy of violence and slavery. Analyzing diverse literatures and material geographies, McKittrick reveals how human geographies are a result of racialized connections, and how spaces that are fraught with limitation are underacknowledged but meaningful sites of political opposition. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eDemonic Grounds\u003c\/i\u003e moves between past and present, archives and fiction, theory and everyday, to focus on places negotiated by black women during and after the transatlantic slave trade. Specifically, the author addresses the geographic implications of slave auction blocks, Harriet Jacobs's attic, black Canada and New France, as well as the conceptual spaces of feminism and Sylvia Wynter's philosophies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCentral to McKittrick's argument are the ways in which black women are not passive recipients of their surroundings and how a sense of place relates to the struggle against domination. Ultimately, McKittrick argues, these complex black geographies are alterable and may provide the opportunity for social and cultural change. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKatherine McKittrick is assistant professor of women's studies at Queen's University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katherine McKittrick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081664702X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816647026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 6.06w x 0.48d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2006 pg. 69","brand":"Katherine McKittrick","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043925913855,"sku":"9780816647026","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1bab2de2-2aff-46f7-802f-87708357cf29.jpg?v=1684969920","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/demonic-grounds-katherine-mckittrick-9780816647026","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
