Following decades of disinvestment, ninety-nine acres of the neighborhood adjacent to the courts was blighted in 2016 to make room for the $1.7 billion relocation of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) West headquarters. While civic officials lauded this massive contract as a “transformative federal success” for the region, largely ignored amidst the hoopla was the displacement of Black residents from the places they lived, worked, worshipped, and called home. The weathered asphalt courts in St. Louis Place Park might likewise be bulldozed one day, however their decrepit state belies the fact that they are rich with meaning and insight about the racial landscape of the city. The material textures, physical traces, and buried histories present at the blacktop invite us to consider counter-narratives of place—ones that problematize conventional assumptions about “run-down” urban spaces and reframe what (and who) is viewed as expendable. If we’re able to listen with care and attentiveness, space can speak for itself, and in ways that are not often given voice in public discourse. Both at these basketball courts and other locations across the region, how might listening to the stories place tells help cultivate spatial practices that are more humanizing and equitable than those currently used?“ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622535eee9b01c3aa9ef79b3/4bae3f07-37bf-4537-8f67-60a48e0fd375/Howard-Evans-Homes.jpg Contributors Homes on Grace Avenue, Evans Place, early 1990s.

In doing our work, we have sought to develop new conceptions of the “segregated city” and its relevant boundaries and pathways, and have prioritized site-oriented approaches that generate new vocabulary and frameworks for explaining the lived realities of racialized urban spaces. In doing their site-based studies, our contributors have given consideration to the “making” and unmaking” of a given site, starting with its long material and political history, and attending to defining episodes of development, transformation, erasure, etc.; the dynamics of racialized experience at the site, past and present, and how they become materialized; various acts of memory and forgetting at the site, including whether / how it has been recognized as a place of racialized life; how a site becomes embedded within, and in turn shapes, broader political-historical geographies of race in St. Louis; how a site can also be the locus of political resistance, transformational Black memory work, and democratic love, or their opposites: repression, denialism, amnesia, cooption of resources, or full-scale material alienation or even obliteration. https://www.modernsegregation.com/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2022-04-19 https://www.modernsegregation.com/phase-ii daily 0.75 2023-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622535eee9b01c3aa9ef79b3/ff9e4b40-a8fb-4181-b74b-db88eb6c86b6/default-2.jpg
