In Whiteness and Social Change Colin Salter provides a comparative engagement with whiteness - the unearned and at times unmarked social-structural privilege afforded some at the expense of others - in contemporary Australia and Canada. Blending existing scholarship in sociology, science studies, political theory and critical whiteness studies, the analysis presented is as engaged as it is broad. Through a detailed examination of high profile community campaigns at Sandon Point (New South Wales, Australia) and the Red Hill Creek valley (Ontario, Canada), situated alongside an analysis of white interpretations of the 1966 Wave Hill walkout (Northern Territory, Australia), the actions of broader communities supporting First People struggles are reflected on to expose how whiteness is both performative and manifests itself irrespective of intent. Whiteness and Social Change highlights examples where the politics of experience produces moments of cognitive dissonance amongst white supporters. Through focussing on community campaigns in support of First People, means from which whiteness can be exposed and destablised are identified. The aim is to highlight the potential of such actions as a form of collaborative struggle and an embrace of a togetherness in difference.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Colin Salter provides an up-close, theoretically informed and critically alert analysis of how white ways of knowing can permeate the assumptions and actions of white supporters of Indigenous campaigns. This is important and delicate work that honours both the necessity of solidarity and its challenges. White normativity can recede from notice even among well-intentioned white people, and Colin Salter helps bring its recessive dynamics into view so that white allies can develop the necessary reflexivity to approach Indigenous neighbours with respect --Professor Daniel Coleman, author of White Civility: The Literary Project of English Canada, Department of English and Cultural Studies, McMaster University
