"This powerhouse collection is a must read." Jackie Huggins, historian and author This book is a profound and urgent collection bringing together Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars committed to the collective task of dismantling structures of white supremacy and settler colonialism in Australia and beyond. That commitment is evident in every page from Parlo Singhs preface with its call for deep listening, to the clarity of Debbie Bargallie and Nilmini Fernandos introduction to the project of critical race and decolonial literacies, throughout all the chapters and interviews, to the final poem by Ambelin Kwaymullina that shows how the demand to educate others can leave Aboriginal people 'no space at all,' without giving up hope that classrooms can be places of possibility. This collection teaches us how sustaining our critiques of the structural violence of racism and colonialism is a form of solidarity. Highly recommended for all those who are labouring and teaching for justice. Sara Ahmed, feminist writer and independent scholar 'The innovative power of this collection lies in how it so brilliantly negotiates this double-bind to Unmask the Racial Contract (Bargallie, 2020) of white supremacy that continues to interpellate and capture its targeted subjects.' Journal of Global Indigeneity
'An important edited collection that allows readers to be inspired by different experiences of anti-racism work currently occurring in neo-colonial educational systems, designed against critical thinking and critical race perspectives.' Ethnic and Racial Studies This necessary book offers rich theoretical and practical strategies for working with racial and decolonial literacies. Well-written, engaging and stimulating chapters from an exciting array of scholars, authors and activists. Linda Tuhiwai Smith, Te Whare Wnanga o Awanuirangi, Whakatne, New Zealand
