Who were these white men? \u003cem\u003eMade to Matter\u003c\/em\u003e analyses the stories of white fathers, men who were positioned as key players in the plans to assimilate Aboriginal people by 'breeding out the colour'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe plan to 'breed out the colour' ascribed enormous power to white sperm and white paternity; to 'elevate', 'uplift' and disperse Aboriginality in whiteness, to blank out, to aid cultural forgetting. The policy was a cruel failure, not least because it conflated skin colour with culture and assumed that Aboriginal women and their children would acquiesce to produce 'future whites'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt also assumed that white men would comply as ready appendages, administering 'whiteness' through marriage or white sperm. This book attempts to put textual flesh on the bodies of these white fathers, and in doing so, builds on and complicates the view of white fathers in this history, and the histories of whiteness to which they are biopolitically related.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849530200300,"sku":"9781920899974","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/25496653482871.jpg?v=1759049316"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/professor-fiona-probyn-rapsey.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
