Race, Space and the Law: Unmapping a White Settler Society: This unsettling collection belongs to a growing field that spans critical geography, sociology, law, education, and critical race and feminist studies. The contributors reject the idea that spaces, and the arrangement of bodies in them, emerge naturally over time. Instead, they look at how spaces are created and the role of law in shaping and supporting them. They expose the racial hierarchies that emerge from, and in turn produce, various spatial arrangements.

The authors' unmapping takes us through drinking establishment, parks, slums, classrooms, urban spaces of prostitution, parliaments, mosques, and the U.S.-Canada and U.S.-Mexico borders. Each example demonstrates that “place,” as a Manitoba Court of Appeal judge concluded after analyzing a section of the Indian Act, “becomes race.”
