Description:


This book 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' and 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.
