"Echoes of White Australia still generate passionate debate in 21st century Australia at a time when the expressions of 'White Canada' and 'White New Zealand' have long been forgotten, and America's Chinese Exclusion Act has reverted to a subject of specialist enquiry. Why does the legacy of White Australia loom larger in foreign perceptions of Australia and in the self-understanding of Australians than comparable discriminatory regimes elsewhere?" (p. 1).

No account was taken of the central problem of racist societalization, that is the everyday production and reproduction of ›race‹ as a social relation (›doing race‹) which was supported by broad sections of the population.
