{"pk":63560,"title":"The Postcolonial Ghetto: Seeing Her Shape and His Hand","subtitle":null,"abstract":"This article maps the ghostly outlines of urban postcolonial subjectivities by hinging together several moving parts/frontiers: connotations of postcolonial; applications and implications of ghettoed places and lives; a telling of the closure of a vibrant, innovative urban community high school; and literary depictions of the subtleties and macro-aggressions of historical and ahistorical domination. Theoretical contributions include the construct of post+colonial; elaborations on the space and place of the ghetto; a mapping of colonial-metropole-nation relations and provisions for a cartographic discourse of urban postcolonial subjectivites; and a discussion of the colonizer’s constructions of the postcolonial subject as dispossessed, murderable, and still haunting.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"Ghetto"},{"word":"Postcolonial Studies"},{"word":"Urban Education"},{"word":"Colonialism"},{"word":"Imperialism"},{"word":"American History (United States)"},{"word":"Geography"},{"word":"Ethnic, Cultural Minority, Gender, and Group Studies"},{"word":"Social and Philosophical Foundations of Education"},{"word":"City/Urban, Community and Regional Planning"}],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3q91f9gv","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"La","middle_name":"","last_name":"Paperson","name_suffix":"","institution":"La Paperson is also K.
