The Attempted Lynching of Black Geographies: A Black Feminist Retheorization of Gentrification as a Tool of Neoliberal Plantation Logics
Bibliographic record
Abstract
My project explored the ways in which gentrification can be retheorized as a neoliberal and neocolonial tool created by the Euro-American expansionist project of global anti-Blackness in an attempt to destroy and lynch the community sovereignty of Black geographies. Specifically, I use discourse analysis of Black geographies, the role of the police and carceral system in the tkaronto context, and the role of Toronto Community Housing Corporation and EGLINTONconnects LRT construction on the gentrification. My lived experiences as a community organizer doing anti-poverty work in tkaronto informs how I reflect on the slow violence of gentrification as displacement directly impacts the wellbeing of residents through the routinized surveillance and ongoing slow state violence that causes chronic urban trauma. Through the relevant literature explored, this study presents three conclusions as a path forward: The Geographies of Resistance Intervention, Abolition and Apocalypse, and Black Radical Social and Solidarity Economies

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
