      abstract = {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.},
