“…At the same time, "the creation of the West was the creation of White Supremacy" (Bonilla-Silva, 2001, p. 192). Thus, as White-Europeans used ideas of White superiority to expropriate, they became imbued with a sense of superiority from their expropriations in a reciprocal fashion (Bonds & Inwood, 2016). In fact, the lasting power of White supremacy depends upon its nebulous adaptability, as it is transformed and expressed throughout time in diverse ways.…”

Family science is at the forefront of understanding the multiple and interconnected risk and protective factors (e.g., poverty vs. wealth, racism and discrimination, privilege) that affect families and the contexts in which they live. In this article, we use the metaphor of spider and web to suggest that family science theorizing is missing an integral piece of the puzzle—the designer of the contexts that have become the field's object of study and intervention (Krieger, 1994). Who or what is this designer? Recognizing that the answer is necessarily complex, we propose a metaphorical spider of insidious influence: White supremacy. Pairing understandings garnered from decades of critical theorizing with a review of the family science literature, we hypothesize about the web of causation and interrogate this culprit. Finally, we offer implications for the consciousness and intentional addition of White supremacy to family science theorizing and methods.

“…Finally, as an indicator of the political economy of land, we use a measure of the proportion of land per county that is owned by the federal government using the Gap Analysis Program Protected Areas Database v 10.3 (Gergeley and McKerrow 2013). The political economy of land tenure and management in the West includes federal policies that reserved large expanses of surface and subsurface resources for state ownership and management, and privileged a particular set of beneficiaries while dispossessing Native communities of their land and associated resources (White 1991, Wilkinson 1993, Robbins 1999, Gaido 2002, Hixson 2013, Bonds and Inwood 2016. Political economy cannot be measured directly, and so we use the proxy of federal land ownership to represent the 'footprint' of this legacy on the West (Spence 1999, Vincent et al 2017.…”

The American West exists in the popular imagination as a distinct region, and policies and politics often suggest that both the challenges and the opportunities for land management and human wellbeing across the region are relatively homogeneous. In this paper, we argue that there are key characteristics that define the West as a social-ecological region, and also that there are myriad socialecological systems (SESs) within the region that require diverse and dynamic approaches to managing change over time. We first conceptualize aridity, topography, and a unique political economy of land as exogenous factors that persist over time and space to define the American West as a contiguous social-ecological region. We then identify a second set of characteristics that show high degrees of variation across SESs within the American West. Finally, we operationalize the relationships between regional characteristics and local dynamics through a set of case studies that exemplify specific types of SESs in the region. The results of these empirical representations of the regional and intra-regional social-ecological dynamics of the contemporary American West highlight the implications for research and management of taking a cross-scale integrated approach to address pressing socialecological opportunities and challenges in complex adaptive systems.

“…A number of factors may influence this. Significantly, there is already a well-established field of anti-racist geographies that has long engaged with geographical dimensions of racism, including white supremacy (e.g., Bonds & Inwood, 2016;Domosh, 2017), ethnic and civic nationalisms (e.g., Antonsich, 2016;Tolia-Kelly, 2011), environmental racism (e.g., Pulido, 2017), racial segregation (e.g., Simpson, 2004), and various other phenomena. These geographies that scholars have investigated since at least the 1980s underpin race and racism's explicit articulation as a core element of far-right ideology.…”

Fragments of an anti‐fascist geography: Interrogating racism, nationalism, and state power

Extensive research exists in geography concerning racism and nationalism, yet there has been surprisingly little written on the far right, and even less on their anti‐fascist opponents. In the context of a resurgent far right, this paper draws together disparate work on this topic within geography to investigate the possibilities for the development of anti‐fascist geographies. While fascism and anti‐fascism have been chronically under‐researched in geography, I argue that there remains an insightful body of research in existence and that geographers are well positioned to undertake substantial work on the subject. Three connecting dimensions of an anti‐fascist geography are identified, namely, investigating not only racism but also the more‐than‐racist dimensions of the far right; their intersections with one another; and the development of anti‐fascist rationalities in geographical scholarship. Through this discussion, I suggest that the field of anarchist geographies offers a useful framework for these tasks, not only for empirical study but also for developing agendas to embed anti‐fascist principles into academic practices. By focusing in on the spatialities of far right and anti‐fascist politics, political geographers can position themselves at the forefront of this important area of work.
