Street-Level Sovereignty: The Intersection of Space and Law is a collection of scholarship that considers the experience of law that is subject to social interpretation for its meaning and importance within the constitutive legal framework of race, deviance, property, and the communal investiture in health and happiness. This book examines the intersection of spatiality and law, through the construction of place, and how law is materially framed.
This intriguing volume compels the reader to consider how law and sovereignty play out perpetually in our everyday lives, our lives lived on ‘the street'. . . Bringing together a diverse collection of authors writing on a wide range of topics, the chapters are unified in their showing of how ubiquitous dynamics of law and sovereignty are, and how they are typically overlooked and unseen.
