CoDE Seminar- Chocolate Cities: The Black Map of American Life, Marcus Hunter and Zandria Robinson

CoDE is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and is based at the University of Manchester. In the context of ongoing policy concern and academic debate around issues of ethnic diversity, integration, immigration and inequality, the core agenda of CoDE is to transform our understanding of the contemporary patterning of ethnic inequalities, to investigate how this relates to the ways in which ethnic identities are perceived, acted upon and experienced, and to provide the knowledge and tools to enhance policy and public capacity to engage in this area.

We will be joined by Professor Marcus Hunter from the department of African American Studies at UCLA and Professor Zandria Robinson from Rhodes College.
Chocolate Cities: The Black Map of American Life
From Central District Seattle to Holly Springs to Harlem, Black people have built a dynamic network of cities where black culture is maintained, created, and defended. But imagine—what if our current maps of black life are wrong? Chocolate Cities offers a refreshingly persuasive cartography of the United States—a “Black Map” that more accurately reflects the lived experiences and the future of Black life in America. The book draws on film, fiction, music, and oral history to map the Black American experience of race, place, and liberation from slavery to freedom. And as the United States moves toward a majority minority society, Chocolate Cities provides a provocative, broad, and necessary assessment of how racial and ethnic minorities make and change America’s social, economic, and political landscape.
