This study traces how Black lesbians in the San Francisco Bay Area made a place for themselves in the world at the end of the twentieth century, after the decline of the Black Power Movement and before the rise of the Black Lives Matter Movement. Geocoding and analyzing the content of a Black lesbian journal in the San Francisco Bay Area that had global distribution, the author examines how the placemaking of Black lesbians remade them as cultural-political subjects, expanded their networks, and inspired them to reimagine their relations with the earth. As they crafted cultural spaces across the African diaspora, they faced threats—most notably, street violence, harsh policing and ecological degradation—yet they also experienced joyful interactions with each other, with allies and with nature. The belief grew in their cultural spaces that their liberation required world transformation and that they could change the world. This research, providing a frame for studying the interaction between the making of cultural spaces and the formation of political solidarities, contributes to urban movements research, critical environmental justice studies, and Black feminist/LGBTQ+ research.

“与地球同在”:黑人女同性恋杂志《Aché》中映射空间(非)酷爱的团结,1989-1993

这项研究追溯了二十世纪末,在黑人权力运动衰落之后、黑人生命也是运动兴起之前,旧金山湾区的黑人女同性恋者如何在世界上占有一席之地。作者对旧金山湾区一份全球发行的黑人女同性恋杂志的内容进行了地理编码和分析,研究了黑人女同性恋的场所营造如何将她们重新塑造为文化政治主体,扩大了她们的网络,并启发她们重新构想与黑人的关系。地球。当他们在非洲侨民中打造文化空间时,他们面临着威胁——尤其是街头暴力、严厉的治安和生态退化——但他们也经历了彼此之间、与盟友之间以及与自然之间的快乐互动。他们的文化空间中越来越相信他们的解放需要世界的变革,并且他们可以改变世界。这项研究为研究文化空间的形成与政治团结的形成之间的相互作用提供了一个框架,有助于城市运动研究、批判性环境正义研究和黑人女权主义者/LGBTQ+研究。
