handle is hein.journals/windyrbaj38 and id is 1 raw text is: Mapping Racial Geographies of Violence on the Colonial Landscape Ingrid Waldron* This paper unpacks the concept of spatial violence to examine the social justice dimensions of race, place, space, and the Indigenous and Black communities in Canada. The paper highlights the larger socio-spatial processes that create disproportionate exposure and vulnerability to the harmful social, economic, and health impacts of inequality in Indigenous and Black communities. It also argues that the lived experience of spatial violence and toxic exposure live together and that it is not possible to understand their impacts in Indigenous and Black communities in isolation. The paper also disrupts traditional notions of the environment that are centered on harmonizing cities and nature by highlighting the symbolic and materiality of space, especially with respect to how it harms Indigenous, Black and other racialized communities.

Il fait dgalement valoir que l'expdrience vdcue de la violence spatiale et l'exposition toxique vont de pair et qu'il n'est pas possible d'en comprendre isoldment les impacts dans les collectivitds autochtones et noires. Le document vient aussi brouiller les notions traditionnelles de a l'environnement > qui sont axdes sur l'harmonisation des villes et de la nature en faisant ressortir l'aspect symbolique et la matdrialitd de l 'espace, notamment en ce qui concerne lafagon dont il nuit aux collectivitds autochtones et noires et aux autres collectivitds racialisdes. I. INTRODUCTION In thinking through the importance of using a socio-spatial analysis to highlight the symbolic and material ways in which Indigenous and Black communities have experienced spatial violence several questions need to be considered: 1) How do socially constructed ideologies about race, class, gender, and other social identities shape the constitution and perception of space?; 2) How are these ideologies spatialized in rural and urban settings?; 3) How is the spatial organization of Indigenous, Black and other racialized * Professor and HOPE Chair in Peace and Health, Global Peace and Social Justice Program, Department of History, Faculty of Humanities, McMaster University.
