This session explores how law has operated both as a mechanism of dispossession and as a protector of property rights in racially differentiated ways. From Indigenous land loss and redlining to zoning, foreclosure, and environmental racism, legal systems have perpetuated racialized patterns of ownership and displacement. Panelists will examine the doctrines, enforcement mechanisms, and structural inequities that create a dual system of property protection—one that privileges white ownership while undermining the property rights of people of color. The conversation bridges critical race theory, property law, and social science to interrogate law’s role in racialized wealth inequality.
