Cover Story: “Remapping Black Childhood in The Brownies’ Book” examines the preoccupation with geography in the African American children’s magazine, The Brownies’ Book (1920–1921). Drawing in part on conventions established by early Black periodicals, the magazine offered Black children a much wider view of their place in the world—both literally and imaginatively—than that provided by typical US schoolroom atlases and geographies, which tended to have little to say (or show) about countries and continents outside North America and Europe. By aiming to develop in its readers alternative forms of geographic and political consciousness, The Brownies’ Book provocatively recast geography as a radical mode of knowledge available to Black children through cultural as well as cartographic forms, in the process remapping Black childhood itself. View this paper
