Black Spatial Relationality

Black Spatial Relationality refers to how Black communities and individuals experience and navigate space, highlighting the ways they are shaped by and respond to social, economic, and historical forces. It examines how spatial arrangements—such as neighborhoods, urban design, and access to resources—affect Black lives, often revealing patterns of inequality, segregation, and resilience. This concept emphasizes understanding space not just physically, but as intertwined with identity, power, and social justice, recognizing how geographic contexts influence opportunities and experiences for Black people.
