- Description
- This book develops an account of the lived experience of racialized gender formation as it exists on this planet. It analyzes sensations: the chill of winter, the feeling of being immersed in water, and a stifling sense of containment. Through this analysis in settler colonial and colonial contexts, in twentieth-century North America and Africa, Clare shows how sensation is unevenly distributed within social worlds and productive of racial, national, and gendered subjectivities.

- Description
- Gloria Wekker explores a central paradox of Dutch culture: the passionate denial of racial discrimination and colonial violence coexisting alongside aggressive racism and xenophobia. Accessing a cultural archive built over 400 years of Dutch colonial rule, Wekker fundamentally challenges Dutch racial exceptionalism by undermining the dominant narrative of the Netherlands as a 'gentle' and 'ethical' nation. Wekker analyzes the Dutch media's portrayal of black women and men, the failure to grasp race in the Dutch academy, contemporary conservative politics and the controversy surrounding the folkloric character Black Pete, showing how the denial of racism and the expression of innocence safeguards white privilege.

- Description
- This book brings the study of whiteness and postcolonial perspectives to bear on debates about urban change. It is a contribution to debates about urban change, race and cosmopolitan urbanism and brings the study of whiteness to the discipline of geography, questioning the notion of white ethnicity. The book engages with Indigenous peoples’ experiences of whiteness – past and present, and with theoretical postcolonial perspectives. The author .uses Sydney as an example of a 'city of whiteness', considering trends such as Sydney’s 'SoHo Syndrome' and the 'Harlemisation' of the Aboriginal community
