These exogenously generated geographies range in scale from the global divisions of power associated with what we have called First, Second, and Third Worlds, to the internal governmental structures that have evolved within sovereign nation-states, to the dense web of state-created ON THE PRODUCTION OF UNJUST GEOGRAPHIES 33 political and administrative districts and boundaries that impinge on practically every daily activity wherever one is located.
