OverviewStreet-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.

In this creative collection, Marusek and Brigham bring together fresh work that explores how law works in everyday spaces that have long been overlooked: in traffic, in bed, at a restaurant, an airport, a sports arena, while getting a haircut, listening to ambient noise, or even when simply laughing. The result is a transformative vision of law that foregrounds the sovereignty of the street in the twenty-first century. -- Susan Burgess, Ohio University Street-Level Sovereignty: The Intersection of Space and Law is a compelling collection.

Marusek, Brigham, and their contributors pay homage to the best in the law and society tradition while enriching it with sophisticated explorations of the significance of place, materiality, and sovereignty. This book is an essential resource for a new generation of interdisciplinary legal scholars. -- Austin Sarat, Amherst College Street-Level Sovereignty is a kaleidoscopic and endlessly engaging exploration of law in ordinary life.

A wonderful study of law's everyday happening. -- Keith J. Bybee, author of How Civility Works 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'. . .
