Abstract
This lecture will explore a hemispheric approach to relational place-making between Indigenous, Black and Latinx relations across the Americas. The hemispheric offers an alternative geographical spatial imaginary where different forms of resistance to colonial spatial formations are possible.Specifically, I look at the common territorial struggles made explicit by the embodiment of territory such as cuerpo-territorio (body-territory) methodologies developed by feminist geography and antiracist collectives in Latin America. By looking at the connection between cuerpo-territorio and structural racism and in particular environmental racism, I will draw out anti-racist relational place-making between Indigenous, Black and Latinx perspectives along the Americas.
