Black Lands and the Poetics of Citizenship

The story of land in what we refer to as the United States of America, is complex. We investigate land through many frames, including theft, domination, or stewardship, and still have an incomplete understanding of the layers of fraught meaning and history associated with it. In this event, we shine a light on one slice of that story through the portal of Black history and practice.


Join us for Black Lands and the Poetics of Citizenship, a multimedia panel discussion about the contradictions and revelations of Black land ownership in rural America. The event will feature excerpts from the works of  Amy Godine (The Black Woods: Pursuing Racial Justice on the Adirondack Frontier), Paul A. Miller (Searching for Timbuctoo), and Dr. Gail Myers (Rhythms of the Land). New School Professors Drs. Kristin Reynolds and Mia Charlene White will moderate the conversation, joined by Mike Harrington, Director of Sustainability Engagement of the Tishman Environment and Design Center and Wendy Scheir, Director of The New School Archives & Special Collections.

 

We look forward to seeing you at Wollman Hall at The New School on Apr 19, 2024 at 6:00 PM and we will have a short reception following the panel. 


This is an in-person event, and will not be livestreamed.





The New School campus is wheelchair accessible and has elevator access to all floors. Service animals and assistive devices are welcome. If you have specific accommodation questions or needs, please contact us at least five days prior to the program at tedc@newschool.edu.


Masks are strongly recommended in indoor public settings on the campus, particularly in classrooms and other crowded indoor spaces. As we gather again after breaks, masks help mitigate increased risk for respiratory illnesses including COVID-19, flu, and RSV.

Portrait

Dr. Gail P Meyers

 Dr. Gail Myers is a cultural anthropologist, creator of the film project, Rhythms of the Land and Co-founder of Farms to Grow, Inc. In 1997, while pursuing her doctorate at The Ohio State University, she conducted her first interviews with African American farmers.
Her passion for Black farmers developed as a result of hearing stories of their loss and struggles without recognition for their contributions. For the last 23 years she has been interviewing, researching, writing about, and filming the stories of African American farmers. Myers is considered an expert in the anthropology of African American farming.
Rhythms of the Land documentary fills the void of these missing agrarian narratives and honors these sharecroppers, farmers, and gardeners.
