'We 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

'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

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.
