Reviews

""Whitening Race" is a challenging and useful collection, which aims at nothing less than remaking contemporary Australian understandings of the cultural construction of race." --Graeme Turner, professor and director, Centre for Critical and Cultural Studies, University of Queensland

"Australians are witnessing what is perhaps the most successful project of White Restoration ever witnessed in the West. This has triggered new approaches to the study of whiteness that are particularly sharp in the way they combine research, theory and politics. This exciting collection offers some of the best of what these new approaches have to offer." --Ghassan Hage, associate professor of anthropology, University of Sydney
