Don Thomas Deere retraces the colonial origins of spatial organization in the Americas and the Caribbean and its lasting impact on modern structures of knowledge, power, race, and gender. Deere shows how what he calls the coloniality of space dispossessed Indigenous, African, and mixed populations as it constructed new systems of control and movement in ways that continue to shape our understandings of global modernity.
