نژاد سفیدکننده: مقالاتی در نقد اجتماعی و فرهنگی

Whitening Race comes to fruition at a time in world history and global politics when questions about race require critical investigation and engagement. With its focus on Australia, this book engages with relations between migration, Indigenous dispossession and whiteness. With its focus on Australia, Whitening Race engages with relations between migration, Indigenous dispossession and whiteness. It creates a new intellectual space that investigates the nature of racialised conditions and their role in reproducing colonising relations in Australia. Aileen Moreton-Robinson has brought together scholars from a range of disciplines: philosophy, cultural and gender studies, education, social work, sociology and literary studies. All engage critically with the location of the social and discursive construction of whiteness. 'Whitening Race collects a range of new contributions to questions of immigration and Indigenous dispossession from the perspective of the recently developing field of whiteness studies. This is a challenging and useful collection, which aims at nothing less than remaking contemporary Australian understandings of the cultural construction of race.' - Graeme Turner, Director, Centre for Critical and Cultural Studies, University of Queensland 'This book is an important and inspirational addition to the critical writings on race ... historically in Australian scholarship on race, the object for study has been the other, in particular the non-white other. The privileged subject position of the white Australian and the structural location and cultural practices of whiteness are rarely examined ... The essays provide rigorous scholarly material that is accessible and useful for students coming freshly to whiteness studies and for researchers engaging with the fraught field of race relations. The collection extends existing material in the field and challenges and inspires everyone to rethink and reconsider.' - Maryrose Casey, Australian Studies Centre, University of Queensland Preliminaries Contents Preface Acknowledgements Contributors 1 Anxieties of dispossession whiteness history and Australia's 2 Reconciliation in and out of perspective white knowing 3 Racism foreigner communities and the onto pathology 4 Thoughts on a politics of whiteness in a never quite post 5 Racial positioning privilege and public debate 6 Whiteness epistemology and Indigenous representation 7 Destabilising or recuperating whiteness un mapping 8 Social work theory and practice the invisibility of 9 Decentring white men critical reflections on masculinity.
