The labor of research well done is the ease with which artists pick up new tools as if the tool was made for them, crafted with them in mind. Toni Cade Bambara spoke on what is irresistible, and I would add stubborn, about liberation: movement on behalf of our people that brings about liberty and justice for all. To be included in the ideological, imaginary location of “all” without fighting for it is the ideal. Not all states will ever have the power to sway a national election without spiritual and cultural labor to actualize what is ideal.

“Intractable” is a word that means something is “rough and stormy,” or “unmanageable and cannot be handled.” The etymology of this word evokes imagery of what it means to travel across treacherous waters, and the difficulty of grasping the mooring line in a storm. In Linda Nash’s Inescapable Ecologies she articulates the point that “although health officials pointed proudly to several decades of sanitation work that had made California and its Central Valley into a modern and orderly space, the health of farmworkers remained a seemingly intractable problem” (129). The idea that the health of migrant farmworkers cannot be grasped or handled is not a new idea.

Cartography is the mapping of the physical world we live in, and it is not always accurate to the actual landscapes and geography we live in. In the context of Turtle Island, the colonization of stolen Native lands has fundamentally shaped the cartography of who and what can belong where. Women’s geographies is a conceptual entry way to thinking about spatial mapping in society, our sociogeographic organization, and encourages us to trouble the normalization of harmful abnormalities in the design of our communities.

The reclaiming of history is used to resolve the dichotomy between the egalitarian principle and actual practice of humanity. It is simple and misleading to accept the false naturalness of societal constructs. These constructs allow for class, race, and gender to be the “natural” determinants of our place in the world. By reclaiming history and unraveling ulterior narratives, it becomes clear that the egalitarian ideal of humanity only provides a free and equal lived-experience for the few and privileged. It also becomes clear that the determinisms that categorize and divide society ought to be questioned.
