Whitefella Jump Up: The Shortest Way to Nationhood

by Germaine Greer

Whitefella Jump Up: The Shortest Way to Nationhood Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Although racism is a problem almost everywhere in the world, it is most acute with displaced indigenous people. White Australia, with its terrible treatment of Aborigines, is an extreme case study. In this incisive essay, Germaine Greer shows how it could, should, and must be different. The problem is not the Aborigines but the “settler society” and what it has done to the country. By extension, her line of reasoning applies to race relations throughout the world, and she argues with wit, anger, passion, and supremely memorable prose. Germaine Greer's many books include The Beautiful Boy, The Obstacle Race, The Whole Woman, and the feminist classic, The Female Eunuch, one of the most widely read books of its day.

Synopsis:

Germaine Greer is worth reading on any subject; she is at her most powerful and polemical when faced with real wrongs that need righting.

Race relations are one of the most fraught issues in the world. Almost everywhere in the world where different races rub against each other there is racism and friction. The problem is most acute with displaced indigenous people. White Australia - with the history of its terrible treatment of the Aborigines is an extreme case study. In this brilliant essay, Germaine Greer shows how it could, should and must be different. The problem is not the Aborigines but the settler society and what it has done to the country. She shows how Australians must embrace their aboriginality.
