Political Ecologies of Race: Settler Colonialism and Environmental Racism in the United States and Canada

https://www.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/anti.12702?af=R Abstract

The emergence over the last decade of large numbers of vulnerable EU citizens begging on Swedish streets has led to ambivalent responses from the Swedish state, including from local police forces charged with policing public order. Based on research including interviews with vulnerable EU citizens and with police officials in two socio"?economically divergent areas of Stockholm, this paper seeks to understand how policing practices are motivated and enacted towards this group and how these practices are experienced by those targeted. The results reveal a set of policing practices which, whilst framed within a depoliticised logic of what Nicholas Blomley calls "pedestrianism", work to produce spatially uneven punitive landscapes for those begging. The paper argues that understanding the role of police as "street"?level bureaucrats" (following Michael Lipsky), with the agency to escalate or soften revanchist landscapes, is fundamental to understanding the contingencies at the heart of punitive urbanisms.
