Integrating Spaces: Property Law and Race provides a dynamic social, historical, and doctrinal context for teaching property law:

• extensive treatment of Federal civil rights statutes and their implications for environmental justice and the housing and financial crisis
• a close look at the efficacy of traditional property concepts as solutions to minority or cultural requirements such as easements by prescription for Native American religious uses (United States v. Platt), Native Hawaiian access to sacred sites and beaches ( PASH), and the impact of partition land sales on African-American farmers and indigenous communities
• consideration of an international perspective, including cases on land redistribution in South Africa, cultural property in Australia, and restitution in post-conflict Bosnia and Herzegovina and Guatemala
• legal context and appropriate pedagogy from statutes, excerpted law review articles, and questions for discussion in the notes
• Teacher's Manual that provides additional questions and suggestions for linking the cases to coverage in traditional casebooks
