Mapping Neshnabé Futurity
Celestial Currents of Sovereignty in Potawatomi Skies, Lands, and Waters
Mapping Neshnabé Futurity is an essential read that offers a rethinking of how we conceive of futurity and sovereignty.

Arrested Mobility
Overcoming the Threat to Black Movement
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.
