Sommario/riassunto

Looking back through the lens of elapsed time at perhaps the most significant chapter of American space-flight history, Robert Miller captures the stark beauty of the abandoned relics of the sites that paves the way to the moon. This book breathes new life into old concrete, providing a fresh look even for those who lived or intimately know the glory of Apollo.

Sommario/riassunto

A key intervention in the growing critical literature on race, this volume examines the social construction of race in contemporary Australia through the lenses of Indigenous sovereignty, nationhood, and whiteness. Informed by insights from white Australians in rural contexts, Koerner and Pillay attempt to answer how race shapes those who identify as white Australian; how those who self-identify thusly relate to the nation, multiculturalism, and Indigenous Sovereignties; and how white Australians understand and experience their own



racialized position and its privilege. This "insider perspective" on the continuing construction of whiteness in Australia is analyzed and challenged through Indigenous Sovereign theoretical standpoints and voices. Ultimately, this investigation of the social construction of race not only extends conceptualizations of multiculturalism, but also informs governance policy in the light of changing national identity.
