Cities of Whiteness

This groundbreaking book brings the study of whiteness and postcolonial perspectives to bear on debates about urban change. It presents a thought-provoking contribution to debates about urban change, race and cosmopolitan urbanism. It brings the study of whiteness to the discipline of geography, questioning the notion of white ethnicity.

It engages with Indigenous peoples' experiences of whiteness - past and present, and with theoretical postcolonial perspectives. It uses Sydney as an example of a 'city of whiteness', considering trends such as Sydney's 'SoHo Syndrome' and the 'Harlemisation' of the Aboriginal community.
