DESCRIPTION:Cities such as Los Angeles have long been structured through t
 echnologies of spatial exclusion and frontiers of urban displacement.  Ye
 t\, social movements on the current frontlines of urban struggle insist th
 at new types of violence are afoot.  Rejecting the standard vocabularies 
 of urban studies\, such as gentrification and neoliberalism\, they call at
 tention to processes of racial banishment.  In this talk\, Professor Roy 
 will detail key elements of racial banishment and indicate how urban trans
 formation is articulated with necropolitics\, including mass incarceration
 .  Thinking from Los Angeles\, she will argue that what is at stake is no
 t only a more robust analysis of urban transformations but also attention 
 to the various forms of urban politics that are challenging racial capital
 ism.
