Cities of Whiteness

This groundbreaking book brings the study of whiteness and postcolonial perspectives to bear on debates about urban change.

• A thought-provoking contribution to debates about urban change, race and cosmopolitan urbanism
• Brings the study of whiteness to the discipline of geography, questioning the notion of white ethnicity
• Engages with Indigenous peoples' experiences of whiteness – past and present, and with theoretical postcolonial perspectives
• 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
