Industry Reviews
'In Unmasking the Racial Contract, Debbie Bargallie has achieved something that Australian scholarship on the ongoing impact of colonization deeply needs: a sophisticated analysis of the ways in which race continues to frame the everyday experiences of First Nations people under colonialism. Bargallie's analysis of how an unspoken racial contract sits beneath the workings of an ostensibly neutral and tolerant institution--the Australian Public Service--will ring true to many racialised people whose interactions with institutions are a daily litany of microaggressions, so often met with denial. As such, Bargallie's book sits alongside other vital pieces of scholarship in the international critical race canon and should be widely read, in both Australia and far beyond.' --Alana Lentin, Associate Professor of Cultural and Social Analysis, Western Sydney University
'This book addresses the critically important, but under-researched, field of racism in the everyday. Using a strong Indigenous methodology the research on which the book is based examines how the Australian non-Indigenous/Indigenous racial contract is enacted in everyday interactions, racial microaggressions and everyday performances. The socio-cultural space the book examines is the Australian Public Service but its theoretical frame, its key findings and its disturbing conclusions can be applied more broadly across Australian society. A key strength of the book was its historical linking, drawing on threads of earlier times, such as the experiences of Charlie Perkins, to show that this is not a new phenomenon, but rather an expected continuation of the older power dynamics of the racial contract, relatively unchanged in either their practice or their outcomes, despite changing rhetoric around race and Indigeneity.' --Distinguished Professor Maggie Walter (PhD, FASSA), University of Tasmania
