Much has been said about the US-Mexico border wall in the last few decades, yet American walling projects have a much longer history, dating back almost a century. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: \" amazon ember arial sans-serif italic font-size:=\"\" font-style:=\"\"\u003eBuilding Walls, Constructing Identities\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: \" amazon ember arial sans-serif font-size:=\"\"\u003e offers a rich account of this legal history, informed by two episodes of wall-building—the Act of August 19, 1935, and the Secure Fence Act of 2006. These two legislative periods illustrate that today's wall imprints onto the landscape a grammar of racial inequality underpinned by a settler colonial rationality. Marie-Eve Loiselle argues in favor of an account of the law that considers its material translation into space and identifies discursive processes by which the law and the wall come together to communicate legal knowledge about territory and identity.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Pearl Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46150381994181,"sku":"OFc40426522","price":79.97,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/7660\/8453\/files\/57_14afae55-08c7-4a24-831c-9d5ebfb90cbc.jpg?v=1777535115","url":"https:\/\/pearlpress.com.au\/products\/building-walls-constructing-identities-marie-eve-loiselle-2024-hc-law-borders","provider":"Pearl Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
