Sharples and Blair place these claims within the broader framework of Australia's settler-colonial and multicultural identity, arguing that narratives of white victimhood function as a continuation of denial-denial of racism, of white privilege, and of Indigenous sovereignty and dispossession. They unpack how mainstream institutions have legitimised and amplified these narratives, giving them a platform and reinforcing a backlash against diversity, anti-racism and social progress. White victimhood is not a new phenomenon in Australia, but in recent years, it has reached new heights, emboldened by shifting global politics and a sense of entitlement tied to the perceived loss of privilege. This book examines what these claims reveal about race, power and national identity in contemporary Australia-and the political and social stakes of not taking them seriously.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46713200869586,"sku":"9781666942927","price":160.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_f1bacfd1-4fc8-489a-844b-194615a124df.jpg?v=1770678091","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/products\/white-privilege-anti-white-racism-and-white-supremacy-in-australia-a-slippery-slope-to-societal-harm","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
