Concluding Remarks.-. 330 $aA 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. 606 $aEthnology 606 $aCulture 606 $aRace 606 $aSociocultural Anthropology 606 $aSociology of Culture 606 $aRace and Ethnicity Studies 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aRace. 615 14$aSociocultural Anthropology. 615 24$aSociology of Culture. 615 24$aRace and Ethnicity Studies. 676 $a305.800994 676 $a305.800994 700 $aKoerner$b Catherine$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01064312 702 $aPillay$b Soma$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910370053303321 996 $aGovernance and Multiculturalism$92537373 997 $aUNINA
