Abstract
This concluding chapter highlights key similarities between the Auckland findings and the Melbourne findings. It concludes that whiteness is what makes both Australia and New Zealand distinctively Settler States of Whiteness. The notion of ‘Settler States of Whiteness’ is derived from Goldberg’s (Ethnic and Racial Studies 32(7):1271–1282, 2009) trope of ‘States of Whiteness’, and it is used in this chapter to point out that, historically, Settler States of Whiteness like Australia and New Zealand are states that become engaged in the constitution and maintenance of whiteness (Goldberg, The racial state. Malden: Blackwell Publishers, 2002). Within Settler States of Whiteness, racism has been reformed, cleaned up and streamlined (Winant, Racial formation in the United States: From the 1960s to the 1990s (2nd ed.). New York: Routledge, 2001). Consequently, one of the defining features of the new racisms in Settler States of Whiteness is that the discourse of the new racisms openly condemns discrimination while it portrays whiteness as the norm and the rule (Goldberg, The racial state. Malden: Blackwell Publishers, 2002).
