This presentation draws on my doctoral research and considers how political subjectivities produce and are produced by Caribbean and Black diaspora spaces in Canada. Based on archival work and oral history interviews with 22 women and non-binary people across Canada, my dissertation asks how, through migration, Caribbean and Black diasporic women come to their political subjectivities and transform the cities in which they live. I bring Carol Boyce Davies (professor of Africana studies and English) into conversation with Black feminist, decolonial, and urban geographies to consider how Caribbean spaces – sites that recreate Caribbean life in the diaspora – are also sites of political transformation. They are spaces in which the people I spoke to develop political subjectivities that transform alienating urban spaces. This presentation argues that memory work as method in geography is critical for understanding Black spatial, political, and cultural thought. It is through conversations with these participants that I come to understand the way that Caribbean Space, as a relation and way of being, moves and recreates itself in Canada to produce political actors. The participants articulate political subjectivities that are not limited to either passive politics or what is commonly understood as activism. Rather, they speak about the way that these spaces of recreation and political transformation are based in practices of kinship, care ethics, the cultivation of civic friendship, and engagement with collective memory. It is through these practices that participants pass on spatial knowledge and enact their politics. These interviewees offer a way to think about how people – particularly those political subjects most marginalized at this moment – transform urban space outside of the most legible forms of political participation. Further, these conversations offer a way of thinking about politics that refuses nihilism and instead draws on history (both collective and personal) to imagine more just futures.
