| Abstract | "A thoughtfully curated selection of texts by preeminent black feminist scholar Katherine McKittrick, Heartbreak and Other Geographies highlights McKittrick's enduring commitment to ideas around radical placemaking and the creative articulations of and within the black diaspora. Including a series of creative interludes from the editors, Brittany Meché and Camilla Hawthorne, this wide-ranging volume invites us to rethink the boundaries between disciplines and the ways that scholarship can embody a more collaborative form of worldmaking"-- Back cover |
