Aboriginal Studies Press Books

How many Aboriginal languages are there? Where are they spoken? How are they learned by children? Are there dictionaries of Aboriginal languages? What is the connection between the land, people and language in Aboriginal Australia? This book answers these questions and more by providing a series of studies of different aspects of language and culture in different parts of Aboriginal Australia.

With its focus on Australia, Whitening Race engages with relations between migration, Indigenous dispossession and whiteness. It creates a new intellectual space that investigates the nature of racialised conditions and their role in reproducing colonising relations in Australia.
