Description
Discover 'The White Possessive', a profound examination of race, sovereignty, and ownership within the Australian Aboriginal context. This enlightening book by Aileen Moreton-Robinson delves deep into the intricate connections between property, identity, and colonization. As it scrutinizes the contemporary race theories that traditionally emphasize slavery and migration, it boldly redefines our understanding of who gets to possess and whose narratives are often overlooked.

With its fresh perspective, this book is an essential read for scholars, students, and anyone interested in postcolonial theory, Indigenous studies, and social justice. Published by the University of Minnesota Press in 2015, it is now available for your collection. Embrace a deeper understanding of these crucial themes and join the conversation on race and identity with 'The White Possessive'.
