Quotes
"That same year Woods published two essays in American Quarterly in a special issue focused on post‐Katrina New Orleans in which he developed other theorising about the linked dynamics of enclosure and the commons. He said that “[t]hroughout history, social‐spatial enclosures have been used by dominant social movements to establish stable control over specific territories and their populations. This process typically involves the reorganization of property relations through the destruction of collectively held property, the commons” (Woods 2009b:774). We can read much of the socio‐spatial formation of Sapelo Island through the logic of enclosure and the way resistance to that was made via the spatial logics inherent to marronage as opened up through Woods' ways of more concretely linking the long history of theorising the commons with political ecology through Eurocentric ideas more squarely to Black lived experience and Black geographies across the US South and elsewhere."

"When the intellectual history of the last half-century is written, and there will likely be several versions of it, my hope is that some of its leading theoreticians will be African American creative intellectuals, and that the story they are going to tell looks something like this…We recognize that black studies were not unprecedented. That's one of the things that I want to say to you now."

"As scholars, we have a certain responsibility to acknowledge the different ways of knowing and transmitting knowledge. Indeed, our work toward liberation started before our entrance into the academy. The lives and contributions of Black scholars matter, especially as participants in a better, imagined future."

Got another side of me, I like to get it poppin'
But these bitches in my business got me outchea choosin' violence
If you see me out in public, you don't know me, keep it silent
In the bedroom, I be screamin', but outside, I keep it quiet.
SZA, “Low” SOS
Cherry on top under the hood.
