Employing geographical and political structures to her analyses, Laini Kavaloski argues that spatial forms that represent boundaries such as walls, ghettos, and war zones together with the artistic renderings of emotion, gendered experiences, and cultural narratives make visible the consequences of war on bodies and political futures.
