Title: Spatial Racialization: Warnersville

Elevator Pitch

The ideal of spatial meaning is a relatively new concept having its inception in the mid to late twentieth century. As such,  Institutions erected to for the purpose of segregation project a meaning of discrimination. This research will encompass the how and why the United States racialized space using the first African-American Neighborhood in Greensboro, Warnersville, as an example.

Theory

main theoretical approach will be based on Bourdieu’s theory of social habitus.  Cultures project meaning into space, thus representing the nature of that culture. His observations of the Berber house will be a foundation for my observations on how communities were established in America. Expanding with the meaning of space and place and examples from I will make a connection on how race has been projected  into space.
