Black Queer Placemaking in Subprime Baltimore UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Collective Come-Up: Black Queer Placemaking in Subprime Baltimore A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Gender Studies by Sa Whitley 2020 © Copyright by Sa Whitley 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Collective Come-Up: Black Queer Placemaking in Subprime Baltimore by Sa Whitley Doctor of Philosophy in Gender Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2020 Professor Juliet A. Williams, Chair The Collective Come-Up: Black Queer Placemaking in Subprime Baltimore engages the experiences, community organizing, and alternative economic frameworks of black queer and transgender women in the age of “credit-led accumulation” and neoliberal urban planning projects that stimulate the gentrification of black neighborhoods.1 This black feminist ethnography, situated within the overlapping geographies of urban renewal programs, subprime foreclosure, and speculative urbanism, foregrounds the contested place in black queer spatial imaginaries of private property in a city with 30,000 vacant properties and lots.2 Specifically, I examine Brioxy’s black land movement in West Baltimore – an effort that seeks to forestall gentrification and “keep the hood black.” From black placemaking to “putting a stake in the ground” against gentrification, I consider how black queer organizers figure the post-crisis financial and real estate markets as sites of both subjection and possibility. Provocatively, the collective puts forth a collectivized model of black private 1 Susanne Soederberg, “The US Debtfare State and the Credit Card Industry: Forging Spaces of Dispossession,” Antipode 45, no. 2 (2013), 495, accessed on June 10, 2020, https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467- 8330.2012.01004.x. 2 The City of Baltimore has 16,000 vacant buildings and 14,000 vacant lots.

At the same time, they engage in what I call speculative social reproduction across black queer households to confront the antiblackness of speculative finance capitalism. As a critical intervention, this dissertation discloses the ongoing violence of liberal property and propertied citizenship by contesting contemporary constructions of the subprime foreclosure crisis itself. This project centers archives of effects overlooked in standard accounts, including the life and death of a black transgender woman killed in a vacant residential property. In dialogue with queer of color analyses of capitalism’s contradictions, I characterize Baltimore’s landscapes of subprime architectures and consider the ways that decades of urban renewal and foreclosure policies regulate black trans life and produce untimely death. Case studies of black queer and trans placemaking compel us to consider the ways that black queer and trans folx aim to variously appropriate, disassemble, refuse, or “disidentify” with property and “propertied citizenship.”3 3 See José Esteban Muñoz, Disidentifications: Queers of Color and the Performance of Politics (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 1999) and Ananya Roy, “Paradigms of Propertied Citizenship: Transnational Techniques of Analysis,” Urban Affairs Review 38, no. 4 (2003): 463-491. iii The dissertation of Sa Whitley is approved.

My dissertation committee members – Juliet A. Williams, Sherene H. Razack, Robin D. G. Kelley, Hannah Appel, and Uri McMillan – have been tremendously inspiring and supportive. Thank you all for your stirring provocations and the groundbreaking work that you do. I appreciate the time you all spent with my chapter drafts and your meticulous engagement with my work. Juliet, my exceptional dissertation advisor, has been an anchor and a friend. Thank you for your mentorship, intellectual rigor, and generosity. I would also like to acknowledge my professor and comrade, Hannah, for inviting me to collaborate with her on a white paper commissioned by the Debt Collective and published by the Institute on Democracy & Inequality entitled, “The Power of Debt: Identity and Collective Action in the Age of Finance.” It was incredibly moving to have you as a friend and conspirator at the Undercommons Freedom School and in the Financial Futures Working Group at the aforementioned Institute. I am profoundly moved by all of the Gender Studies faculty – in seminars, at events and workshops, in archives, at protests, and in cafes. A Special thanks to Purnima Mankekar, Sarah Haley, Angela Y. Davis, and Mishuana Goeman. I thank you all for your affective and intellectual labor and your respective examples of feminist pedagogy. I also have warm appreciation for the Gender Studies staff – Samantha Hogan, Richard Medrano, Van Do-Nguyen, and Jenna Miller-Von Ah – who go above and beyond. Each of you make the ship sail smoother in your own remarkable and ardently dedicated ways. During the seven years of the PhD program, I am sincerely appreciative for financial support from the UC Consortium for Black Studies, Center for the Study of Women, and the Eugene V. Cota-Robles Fellowship through UCLA Graduate Division. I would also like to thank the UCLA custodial workers of Rolfe Hall and AFSCME 3299 for their labor and their inspiring vii labor organizing, and I am delighted to acknowledge my health care providers and community healing spaces. To the brilliant Gender Studies PhD students – past and present – your dedication to that werk, your support at conferences (on panels & the dancefloor), and the feminist and queer lifeways that you embody/practice fiercely inform my relationship to the academy and community building. Special thanks to Lina Chhun, Savannah Kilner, Bianca Beauchemin, Shondrea Thornton, Azza Basharudin, Preeti Sharma, Jacob Lau, Amanda Apgar, Sarah Montoya, Esha Momeni, Dalal Alfares, Nazneen Diwal, Jaimie D. Crumley, Taryn Marcelino, Angela Robison, Marika Cifor, and Freda Fair. My Gender Studies writing group with Mary Robbins and Rahel S. Woldegaber was not merely or principally productive. We made a virtual feminist home-space that was truly magical and affirming each morning. I have infinite gratitude to you both for sharing your brilliance, hours, recipes, laughter, and love with me throughout the pandemic. Across campus, I want to extend gratitude to other sweet, gifted, and grounding PhD students, who together formed a radical and inviting UCLA community: Natalie Bradford, Aditi Anand Halbe, Mary Senyonga, Nichole Garcia, Rose Simons, Kendy D. Rivera, Thabisile Griffin, Marques Vestal, LeighAnna Hidalgo, and many others. I was also deeply moved by the collaboration and fervent political community that I found in the Black Feminist Initiative Working Group, the Undercommons Freedom School, UAW 2865, and the team at College Academic Counseling including Brian Henry and the 2019-20 College Academic Mentors. In Baltimore, thank you to my fierce comrades, who have been meaningful collaborators and the best of friends to think and dream with. Special thanks to B.

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

LONG SUMMARY Molly Shannon plays Emily Dickinson in the dramatic comedy "​ Wild Nights with Emily​." The poet’s persona, popularized since her death, became that of a reclusive spinster – a delicate wallflower, too sensitive for this world. This film explores her vivacious, irreverent side that was covered up for years — most notably Emily’s lifelong romantic relationship with another woman (Susan Ziegler). After Emily died, a rivalry emerged when her brother's mistress (Amy Seimetz) along with editor T.W.

    ARAB TIMES, THURSDAY, JULY 1, 2021 NEWS/FEATURES 13 People & Places Music Dacus sings young love Cat album falters at fi rst but ends strong By Mark Kennedy ot to be totally catty, but Doja Cat’s third album Nstarts poorly. The first four songs — “Woman,” “Naked,” “Payday” with Young Thug and “Get Into It (Yuh)” — are half-baked tunes mimicking beats and vocals from Nicki Minaj or Rihanna. None are note- worthy. It’s depressing. What happened to the artist behind 2019s “Hot Pink,” a sonic breath of fresh air? What happened to the Doja Cat whose electric performance of “Say So” at the Grammys was reminiscent of Missy Elliott’s futurism? Just wait. The fi fth song, “Need to Know,” is a superb, steamy sex tape of a song (with Dr. Luke co-writing and producing) and the sixth, “I Don’t Do Drugs” featuring Ariana Grande, is airy and confi dent with heav- enly harmonies. “Love to Dream” follows, a slice of dreamy pop, and then The Weeknd stops by on a terrifi c, slow-burning “You Right.” Cat The Cat is back. From then on, the 14-track “Planet Her” rights itself with whispery pop songs and the envelope-pushing “Options” with JID, climaxing with the awesome “Kiss Me More,” the previously released single with SZA that has a Gwen Stefani-ish refrain and must be considered a strong contender for This image released by A24 shows Riley Keough, (left), and Taylour Paige in a scene from ‘Zola.’ (AP) song of the summer.

    “If you are working on a problem you can solve in your lifetime, you’re thinking too small.” Wes Jackson I have been blessed to spend time with some of our nation’s most prominent civil rights leaders— truly extraordinary people. When I listen to them tell their stories about how hard they fought to combat the issues of their day, how long it took them, and the fact that they never stopped fighting, it grounds me. Those extraordinary people worked at what they knew they would never finish in their lifetimes. I have come to understand that the historical arc of this country always bends toward progress. It doesn’t come without a fight, and it doesn’t come in a single lifetime. It is the job of each generation of leaders to run the race with truth, honor, and integrity, then hand the baton to the next generation to continue the fight. That is what our foremothers and forefathers did. It is what we must do, for we are at that moment in history yet again. We have been passed the baton, and our job is to stretch this work as far as we can and run as hard as we can, to then hand it off to the next generation because we can see their outstretched hands. This project has been deeply emotional for me. It brought me back to my youthful days in Los Angeles when I would be constantly harassed, handcuffed, searched at gunpoint - all illegal, but I don’t know that then. I can still feel the terror I felt every time I saw a police cruiser.

  • Black Capitalism’
    Opinion The Real Roots of ‘Black Capitalism’ Nixon’s solution for racial ghettos was tax breaks and incentives, not economic justice. By Mehrsa Baradaran March 31, 2019 The tax bill President Trump signed into law in 2017 created an “opportunity zones” program, the details of which will soon be finalized. The program will provide tax cuts to investors to spur development in “economically distressed” areas. Republicans and Democrats stretching back to the Nixon administration have tried ideas like this and failed. These failures are well known, but few know the cynical and racist origins of these programs. The neighborhoods labeled “opportunity zones” are “distressed” because of forced racial segregation backed by federal law — redlining, racial covenants, racist zoning policies and when necessary, bombs and mob violence. These areas were black ghettos. So how did they come to be called “opportunity zones?” The answer lies in “black capitalism,” a forgotten aspect of Richard Nixon’s Southern Strategy. Mr. Nixon's solution for racial ghettos was not economic justice, but tax breaks and incentives. This deft political move allowed him to secure the support of 2 white Southerners and to oppose meaningful economic reforms proposed by black activists. You can see how clever that political diversion was by looking at the reforms that were not carried out. After the Civil Rights Act, black activists and their allies pushed the federal government for race-specific economic redress. The “whites only” signs were gone, but joblessness, dilapidated housing and intractable poverty remained. In 1967, blacks had one-fifth the wealth of white families. ADVERTISEMENT Yet a white majority opposed demands for reparations, integration and even equal resources for schools.
