'Settler colonialism produces distinctive structures, spaces and boundaries that seek to differentiate coloniser from colonised, black from white. Two works that explore these cultural spaces, social structures, racial hierarchies—and the intimate and actual lived-in spaces that lay in-between—are Fiona Davis’ Australian Settler Colonialism and the Cummeragunja Aboriginal Station: Redrawing Boundaries and Fiona Probyn-Rapsey’s Made to Matter: White Fathers, Stolen Generations. Both works engage with theories of whiteness, foregrounding it as a necessary concept to grapple with the different racial, cultural and social spaces produced by settler colonialism in Australia, yet they do so from different “fields” or “sites”.'
