In this bold book, of its time and ahead of its time, whiteness is made visible in power relations, presenting a dialogic of how white feminists represent Indigenous women in discourse and how Indigenous women self-present. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoreton-Robinson argues that white feminists benefit from colonization: they are overwhelmingly represented and disproportionately predominant, play the key roles, and constitute the norm, the ordinary, and the standard of womanhood. They do not self-present as white but rather represent themselves as variously classed, sexualized, aged, and abled. The disjuncture between representation and self-presentation of Indigenous women and white feminists illuminates different epistemologies and an incommensurability in the social construction of gender.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot so much a study of white womanhood, \u003ci\u003eTalkin' Up to the White Woman\u003c\/i\u003e instead reveals an invisible racialized subject position represented and deployed in power relations with Indigenous women. The subject position occupied by middle-class white women is embedded in material and discursive conditions that shape the nature of power relations between white feminists and Indigenous women--and the unjust structural relationship between white society and Indigenous society. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Minnesota Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47572880851095,"sku":"9781517912284","price":2822.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781517912284.webp?v=1774891370","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/talkin-up-to-the-white-woman-indigenous-women-and-feminism-9781517912284","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
