Reviews for Cities of Whiteness
"Shaw does a fascinating job combining the literature on urban transformation with whiteness studies and creating a unique reading of Sydney as a space of white privilege … .The book is well researched and tells a fascinating story of racialized urban change." (Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, December 2008)
