This paper employs the theoretical framework of ‘discriminate biopower’ to argue that geospatial borders produce a ‘socio-political invisibility’ linked to race and racial inequality. Through focus group discussions with kindergarten /– grade eight educators in the Chicago metropolitan area of the United States, this paper provides evidence of how understandings of race are spatially applied by teachers
