Concluding Remarks.-.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.EthnologyCultureRaceSociocultural AnthropologySociology of CultureRace and Ethnicity StudiesEthnology.Culture.Race.Sociocultural Anthropology.Sociology of Culture.Race and Ethnicity Studies.305.800994305.800994Koerner Catherineauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1064312Pillay Somaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910370053303321Governance and Multiculturalism2537373UNINA
