“Cities of Whiteness is an important contribution
to our understanding of how race works in the postmodern city. It
shows in clear and convincing detail how whiteness is bound up with
property, heritage and fear.”
Alastair Bonnett, Newcastle University

“Wendy S. Shaw writes with passion, with political
commitment, carefully and engagingly, and with the kind of gallows
humour that can be expected in grim situations. Her subtle and
always empirically-grounded analysis astutely picks at the
invisible structures of racialization that underpin white privilege
and power. Sydney and New York, after Cities of Whiteness,
are not such virtuous cities of multiculturalism. Instead, we see
these cities afresh, complete with their promiscuous and particular
processes of white superiority.”
Steve Pile, The Open University
