“…In fact, many of the local networks simulate a socio-cultural form of kinship networks, even using kinship monikers, such as cousin, brother, sister, auntie, or uncle, to refer to one another. Such blurring between family and community in the construction of Black places has similarly been demonstrated elsewhere (Scott 2020). As Scott (2020) demonstrates, Black placemaking becomes a locus for building a collectivity of familial ties beyond blood ties.…”

Holding Land, Claiming Kin" uses a comparison between the Southern US and the Caribbean island of Barbados to explore the connection between race, property, and kinship. Focusing on the customary practices of family land and the legal category of heir property, we argue that land ownership is used by racially dispossessed populations to name and practise kinship, to assert multiple forms of belonging, and to define their own value systems within racialised, social, and legal structures. Contributing to broader understandings of Black geographies, this work adds to social understandings of land ownership as place making and has the potential to influence US policies around grants, agricultural assistance, and protection of heir property, as well as Caribbean understandings of land as a family resource. Through this comparative analysis we posit dispossession as more than the loss of monetary wealth and land ownership as more than an economic asset.

“…Here, space was an important factor in enabling police officers to escape any repercussions for their unjust actions, one such strategy being the categorisation of specific neighbourhoods as ‘crime-ridden and lawless’ (p. 405). Other important research includes work about gendered and queer geographies of blackness (Bailey and Shabazz, 2014; Eaves, 2017), black Muslim women’s clothing practices (Johnson, 2017) and family narratives and intergenerational relations amongst black communities in North Carolina (Scott, 2019).…”

Social justice is regarded as a key underpinning principle of social geography. This report focuses on social justice in social geography and related issues of inequality, discrimination and intolerance. I appraise debates about social justice in social geography and then pay specific attention to issues of poverty and welfare, gender and sexuality, and race and ethnicity. I argue for social geography to be committed to social justice and conclude by calling for action to commit to promoting social justice in our teaching, research, in our professional practices and in how we challenge our universities to operate.

“…We see this, in particular, in children's and young people's geographies (e.g., Horschelmann & van Blerk, 2012) and in connected debates about geographies of age (Hopkins & Pain, 2007). Family relations often feature strongly in debates about intergenerational relations (Hopkins et al, 2011; Vanderbeck, 2007; Vanderbeck & Worth, 2015), with recent examples including Scott’s (2019) use of oral history interviews with mothers and daughters to explore the spatial production of black communities in the USA, Lui’s (2017) exploration of family‐based food practices in three‐generational households in China, and Richardson’s (2015) exploration of Irish migrant men's negotiations of their masculinities and family positions in north‐east England. Interconnected with such debates are works about ageing, care‐giving, and place (e.g., England & Dyck, 2014; Milligan, 2012) and debates about partnering and parenting (e.g., Duncan & Smith, 2002).…”

Households, families, and structural inequalities: Reflections on “How the other half lives”

Tivers’ landmark paper about the geographical study of women published in Area in 1978 raised significant issues for the discipline when it was published. I review Tivers’ paper and draw attention to three issues that remain pertinent for geographers. First, I explore the need to be critical about the concept of the household. Second, I reflect on the attention that geographers have given to the family. Finally, I re‐emphasise the importance of continuing to focus on structural inequalities as Tivers initially suggested in 1978.
