Price notes that when we theorize about space there has been a focus on attention to and accountability to previous harms without a notice of how harm is ongoing, as highlighted by Wolfe systems like settler colonialism require daily upkeep and thus a daily reassertion of harm. 

Attention and Accountability without Attendance to Harm

Patrick Wolfe, centers that settler colonialism is not a singular event, rather it is a structure, as settler colonialism didn't just happen when the settler arrived, rather it is reasserted everyday with the occupation of settlers both phyiscally and the foregrounding of settler systems of knowledge.

White supremacist and settler colonial approaches to space are inevitably and inherently violent because of their grounding in ownership and control. In settler colonial systems, ownership of land is often centered, so that the ownership of land is the basis on which all over relationships are formed.
