Black migrant geographies explore the spatial, social, and political dimensions of migration experiences for Black migrants – going beyond physical movement to encapsulate the broader, often invisible, experiences and structures that shape how Black migrants inhabit, move through, and make meaning of different spaces globally. It delves into how Black people navigate and move through different geographical, cultural, and political spaces while considering the historical and contemporary contexts of race, anti-Blackness, migration, and displacement. Black migrant geographies also examine the impact of borders, nation-states, citizenship, colonial histories, racialization processes, and socio-economic conditions that shape the lives of Black migrants across various regions.
