In this theoretical article, the authors elaborate a revisited theory of Third Space from a BlackCrit/Afropessimist stance, exploring Black youth ethnic and racial identity formation searching for place and belonging in the context of a raced world. To illustrate their theoretical contributions, the authors draw on empirical research conducted with Haiti-born and U.S.-born Haitian immigrant high school students and their teachers. They argue that, as Third Space, Haitian ethnic clubs were sites of sanctuary where students felt free to challenge, play with, and question complex ideas about racial identity, sites of resistance to test and exercise resistance against demoralizing forces, sites of fluidity for Black adolescent development, and sites for regulating and protecting Blackness. Thus, Third Space Theory from a BlackCrit perspective can offer an anti-racist approach to capturing how Black youth become aware of contradictions and ambivalence in the worlds they inhabit and their acceptance of situations where ambivalence helps in their learning and also their survivance.

在这篇理论文章中，作者从 BlackCrit/Afropessimist 立场阐述了重新审视的第三空间理论，探索了黑人青年民族和种族认同的形成，在种族世界的背景下寻找位置和归属感。为了说明他们的理论贡献，作者借鉴了对海地出生和美国出生的海地移民高中学生及其老师进行的实证研究。他们认为，作为第三空间，海地民族俱乐部是学生可以自由挑战、玩耍和质疑有关种族身份的复杂想法的避难所，是抵抗测试和抵抗士气低落力量的场所，是黑人流动的场所。青少年发展，以及监管和保护黑人的场所。因此，
