In Black Gathering Sarah Jane Cervenak engages with Black artists and writers who create alternative spaces for Black people to gather free from interruption or regulation. Drawing together Black feminist theory, critical theories of ecology and ecoaesthetics, and Black aesthetics, Cervenak shows how novelists, poets, and visual artists such as Gayl Jones, Toni Morrison, Clementine Hunter, Samiya Bashir, and Leonardo Drew advance an ecological imagination that unsettles Western philosophical ideas of the earth as given to humans. In their aestheticization and conceptualization of gathering, these artists investigate the relationships among art, the environment, home, and forms of Black togetherness. Cervenak argues that by offering a formal and conceptual praxis of gathering, Black artists imagine liberation and alternative ways of being in the world that exist beyond those Enlightenment philosophies that presume Black people and earth as given to enclosure and ownership.

Tank you for being ere. I want to say tat ﬁrst. Black Gatheringis sister toWandering, my ﬁrst book. I was tinking about gatering in Leonardo Drew’s art soon before my ﬁrst book was publised. Tey go togeter. My wonderful editor Courtney Berger at Duke University Press as supported me and tese books from te beginning, and I’m tremen-dously grateful to er. As well, I tank te anonymous readers for teir time, encouragement, insigt, and enormously elpful feedback. Tanks to Sandra Korn and Lisl Hampton for teir support trougout te book’s production process. Tank you, Leslie Watkins, for copyediting te book. I tank Sara Osment for preparing te index. Indeed, te lives of tese two books are treaded, and so te folks I tanked in te acknowledgments toWanderingare also te ones I tank now along wit oters wo ave since sown me kindness and support. Tanks to my colleagues at  Greensboro: Tara Green, Leila Villaverde, Daniel Coleman, Danielle Boucard, Lisa Levenstein, Katy Jamieson (now at -Sacramento), Cerise Glenn, and Mark Rifkin. As witWandering, Dan-ielle Boucard sowed me as well as tis book muc kindness and generos-ity, graciously reading drafts and letting me work at er ome wen I needed some space and time to ﬁnis. After I got tenure, I was lucky to get a one-semester researc leave from -Greensboro’s College of Arts and Sci-ences, wic gave me additional time to work on capter . I’m tankful for my son’s day care teacers wo cared for im wile I taugt and wrote. Tanks to te people wo came and listened to te presentations I gave connected to te book: Duke University’s Gender, Sexuality and Feminist
