This chapter traces the ways by which culture is used to produce, police, study, and represent blackness specifically in conjunction with racialized metropolitan space in the United States—the cultural politics of race and space. Cultural politics is the scaffold for modes of informal disciplining, and it establishes the conditions of possibility for formal policing. The chapter then outlines some of the contours of the cultural politics of race and space that are important for understanding the practices and phenomena in North St. Louis County. Because scholarship produces powerful discourses that reveal, obscure, and sanction violence in and through space, it also considers the ways in which culture, race, and space have been historically conflated in different spaces of scholarship. Ultimately, North County stands as a prime example of how blackness-as-risk has been deployed at a local level through cultural politics in order to differentiate and police bodies and space for profit through racist and “race-neutral” policies and practices.

Chapter 5 explores media free of regional lockout, focusing in particular on region-free DVD. The chapter begins with an analysis of region code circumvention and region-free DVD use by diasporic video retailers in the United States. Interviews with video store owners and employees reveal how region-free DVD can represent both a bottom-up challenge to dominant media industries’ distribution routes as well as a more everyday practice of making cultural resources available to localized diasporic communities. The chapter then explores the use of region-free DVD by cinephiles and film cultists, showing that region-free DVD cultures can also reflect a seemingly contradictory blend of cosmopolitanism and cultural dominance. Ultimately, this chapter argues that while region-free DVD can reflect an oppositional and transgressive orientation toward oppressive global cultural industries, region-free media’s cultural politics are more ambivalent than many of its celebrators might suggest.
