In this bold book, of its time and ahead of its time, whiteness is made visible in power relations, presenting a dialogic of how white feminists represent Indigenous women in discourse and how Indigenous women self-present. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoreton-Robinson argues that white feminists benefit from colonization: they are overwhelmingly represented and disproportionately predominant, play the key roles, and constitute the norm, the ordinary, and the standard of womanhood. They do not self-present as white but rather represent themselves as variously classed, sexualized, aged, and abled. The disjuncture between representation and self-presentation of Indigenous women and white feminists illuminates different epistemologies and an incommensurability in the social construction of gender.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot so much a study of white womanhood, \u003ci\u003eTalkin' Up to the White Woman\u003c\/i\u003e instead reveals an invisible racialized subject position represented and deployed in power relations with Indigenous women. The subject position occupied by middle-class white women is embedded in material and discursive conditions that shape the nature of power relations between white feminists and Indigenous women--and the unjust structural relationship between white society and Indigenous society. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aileen Moreton-Robinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1517912288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781517912284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/12\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.95h x 4.96w x 0.87d","brand":"Aileen Moreton-Robinson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044445778175,"sku":"9781517912284","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_09e9d4ac-435f-472f-9814-20ae48a62b17.jpg?v=1684972892","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/talkin-up-to-the-white-aileen-moreton-robinson-9781517912284","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
