The collection contributes to transnational whiteness debates through theoretically informed readings of historical and contemporary texts by established and emerging scholars in the field of critical whiteness studies. From a wide range of disciplinary perspectives, the book traces continuity and change in the cultural production of white virtue within texts, from the proud colonial moment through to neoliberalism and the global war on terror in the twenty-first century. Read together, these chapters convey a complex understanding of how transnational whiteness travels and manifests itself within different political and cultural contexts.

Some chapters address political, legal and constitutional aspects of whiteness while others explore media representations and popular cultural texts and practices. The book also contains valuable historical studies documenting how whiteness is insinuated within the texts produced, circulated and reproduced in specific cultural and national locations.

Aileen Moreton-Robinson is professor of indigenous studies at Queensland University of Technology in Australia. Maryrose Casey is a postgraduate coordinator and lecturer in drama and theater studies at Monash University in Australia. Fiona Nicoll is a lecturer in cultural studies at the University of Queensland in Australia.
