Dr Aileen Moreton-Robinson "talks up" in this provocative interrogation of feminism in representation and practice. As a Geonpul woman and an academic, she provides a unique cultural standpoint and a compelling analysis of the whiteness of Australian feminism and its effect on Indigenous women.Through an extensive range of articles by non-white scholars and activists, she demonstrates the ways whiteness dominates from a position of power and privilege as an invisible and unchallenged practice. She illustrates the ways in which Indigenous women have been represented through the publications and teachings of white Australian women. Such renderings of Indigenous lives are in contrast to the many examples provided of life writings by Indigenous women themselves.Persuasive and engaging, Talkin' Up to the White Woman is a timely argument for the inclusion of Indigenous perspectives in developing the teachings and practices that impact on Australia's pluralistic society.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brainy, dense and is the source for lots of insights that many others use

This is a very clever book, written in the language of a subsection of academia. I can see how this was necessary given the subject and the difficulty faced by First Nations people in speaking out in any forum, especially on subjects where we people of the dominant culture have claimed authority (usually without justification). It's a shame that the language makes it quite slow reading, because the content and the argument is dynamite and it could do with a popular culture interpretation.

I loved it, and kept a list of quotations to remind me to be less of an idiot.
