Summary note
"Black Spaces examines how space and place are racialized, and the impacts on everyday experiences among African-Italians, immigrants, and refugees. It explores the deeply intertwined histories of Africa and Europe, and how people of African descent negotiate, contest, and live with anti-blackness in Italy."--Provided by publisher.
