The urbanisation of certain races in the Americas is a reflection of human movement from rural to urban areas. This is common amongst tribal peoples who search for better living opportunities. Their identities are often met with obvious racial identifications, raising questions of whether places are affected by these foreign newcomers. Does place change the cultural identities of newcomers? Or, do the new cultural backgrounds of foreigners change place, changing both its landscape and its original cultural expression? In an upcoming April 2022 platial seminar, we will consider how the urbanisation of people can affect the platial context of their new urban surroundings. Should be exciting!
