Their demand for the recognition of ancestral lands, responsive policies, and human rights sheds new light on their permanent yet tenuous presence throughout the region. The authors argue that by deploying a discourse of transcontinental historical continuity, Black communities assert their presence in local, national, and international political spheres. This conceptualization of hemispheric Blackness is the driving force confronting the historical loss, dismissal, and disparagement of Black lives across the Am駻icas. Through twelve case studies that cover a wide range of locations, their work examines contemporary manifestations of sovereignty of Black body and mind, Black-Indigenous nexuses, and national revisions that challenge more than a quincentennial of denial and state \u003ci\u003eun\u003c\/i\u003eaccountability in the hemisphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Gomez Menjivar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822947226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822947226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/17\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.13h x 6.06w x 1.02d","brand":"Jennifer Gomez Menjivar","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075435917567,"sku":"9780822947226","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7ac070b8-f354-4df4-a4db-d97bc0e7b3dd.jpg?v=1685459408","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hemispheric-blackness-and-the-exigencies-jennifer-gomez-menjivar-9780822947226","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
