Mapping Neshnabé Futurity

Celestial Currents of Sovereignty in Potawatomi Skies, Lands, and Waters

The University of Arizona Press

Mapping Neshnabé Futurity is an essential read that offers a rethinking of how we conceive of futurity and sovereignty. Morseau’s interdisciplinary approach, blending anthropological research with literary critique, shows how counter-mapping projects both on the ground and in the skies reclaim space in the Great Lakes region—Neshnabé homelands—and are part of Anishinaabé/Neshnabé communities’ constellations of Indigenous futurities and stories of survivance.

Arrested Mobility

Overcoming the Threat to Black Movement

Island Press

In Arrested Mobility: Overcoming the Threat to Black Movement, Charles T. Brown, founder and CEO of Equitable Cities, examines why mobility is not afforded in the same way to everyone. He argues that the legacy of structural racism and White supremacy has led to disinvestment and over-policing in Black communities and communities of color, thwarting opportunity, as physical mobility and social mobility are intrinsically linked. This experience for Black people around the world is what Brown refers to as arrested mobility.  

Brown examines this condition that society has created through what he calls “The Four Ps”: Polity, Policy, Planning, and Policing and suggests solutions, some of which are already being implemented in the US. Drawing from research, his own experience, and the experience of other Black Americans, Brown shows that  change is possible and inspires and guides readers to un-arrest mobility together.
