In Whiteness and Social Change Colin Salter provides a comparative engagement with whiteness - the unearned and at times unmarked social-structural privilege afforded some at the expense of others - in contemporary Australia and Canada. Blending existing scholarship in sociology, science studies, political theory and critical whiteness studies, the analysis presented is as engaged as it is broad. Through a detailed examination of high profile community campaigns at Sandon Point (New South Wales, Australia) and the Red Hill Creek valley (Ontario, Canada), situated alongside an analysis of white interpretations of the 1966 Wave Hill walkout (Northern Territory, Australia), the actions of broader communities supporting First People struggles are reflected on to expose how whiteness is both performative and manifests itself irrespective of intent. Whiteness and Social Change highlights examples where the politics of experience produces moments of cognitive dissonance amongst white supporters. Through focussing on community campaigns in support of First People, means from which whiteness can be exposed and destablised are identified. The aim is to highlight the potential of such actions as a form of collaborative struggle and an embrace of a togetherness in difference.

Remember when you were a child, and would happily spend hours creating a collage to present to your mum and dad? Children are often happiest when left alone with creative materials - they let their imagination take over and come up with some wonderful ideas. But as we grow up, we often lose touch with our creative side as 'real' life takes over and we find we have no time to do the washing up, let alone sit down and create something beautiful just for its own sake. Creativity doesn't just fade away though, and increasingly people are turning back to their favourite childhood arts and crafts skills in order to relax and rediscover themselves. "Crafting Creativity" is the perfect handbook for anyone looking to expand or re-awaken their creative side, and is packed with inspiring ideas and advice for creating something really special, whatever you're into - the only limits to what you can create are those in your imagination! Simply brilliant.
