The parable of Black places

Frequently defined out of modernity, Black places have been left out of scholarship and public discourse on the future, as defined largely by white‐centred neoliberal notions of progress. This essay observes Black place creation and durability in the midst of forces of capitalist displacement and climate change to consider how Black place practices of relationship‐building, interdependence, and solidarity can be viable models for the future of human societies on Earth.
