“…Illuminated by the framework of white practices (Dyer, 1997;Levine-Rasky, 2013;Sullivan, 2006), our study found that normalisation, solipsism and ontological expansiveness were entwined in the construction of white leaders as speaking for Australian society, mastering all environments and self-sacrificing for the greater good. Beyond these powerful constructions of whiteness, the confluence of whiteness with discourses of ethical/moral leadership meant that these constructions became distinctly heroicised, entrenching our romance with not only leadership, but also whiteness.…”

This article draws on critical race theory to interrogate whiteness in dominant discourses of leadership. We conducted a discourse analysis of the media representations of 12 business leaders engaged in philanthropy in Australia to demonstrate how white practices of normalisation, solipsism and ontological expansiveness underpin the construction of white leaders as speaking for society, mastering all environments and self-sacrificing for the greater good. Our analysis suggests that 'doing leadership' is inextricably linked to 'doing whiteness', while the invisible presence of whiteness in leadership discourses sustains white power and privilege. By 'naming' whiteness and its practices, we aspire to unhinge it from its location as transparent, dominant and ordinary, and begin theorising leadership in ways that are conducive to the goals of racial equality.Leadership 0(0) 1-29

“…Since colonisation, stories connecting 'race' and spaces have carried a history of imaginary geographies on a global scale, in which spatial and cultural boundaries have been drawn between 'civilization' and various uncivilized, deviant 'others' (SIBLEY, 1995). In this process, space was used to establish a hierarchy, which distinguished civilized Europeans from uncivilized native peoples (LEVINE-RASKY, 2016;SIBLEY, 1995). As Sibley argues, the world colonial map, with civilization in the centre and the grotesque adorning the periphery, illustrated that while there was a 'fascination with non-European cultures…there were both moral and economic arguments for representing these cultures as less than human, a part of nature, or monstrous ' (1995: 52).…”

Drawing on research with Brazilian in London, which combined 18-month ethnography in places of leisure with 33 in-depth interviews, this articles builds a theoretical framework, through a dialogue between feminist, post--(de)colonial and Bourdeusian studies, in order to analyse the production and negotiation of difference in a globalised world. The article argues that a dialogue between (black) feminist, post and de-colonial theory, and a more flexible and multi-varied approach of the work of Pierre Bourdieu, analytically developed in migration studies by Abdelmalek Sayad, proves to be useful to analytically address how people are constantly producing and negotiating difference in a 'world on the move'.
