In 1900 W. E. B. DuBois prophesied that the colour line would be
the key problem of the twentieth-century and he later identified
one of its key dynamics: the new religion of whiteness that was
sweeping the world. Whereas most historians have confined their
studies of race-relations to a national framework, this book offers
a pioneering study of the transnational circulation of people and
ideas, racial knowledge and technologies that under-pinned the
construction of self-styled white men's countries from South
Africa, to North America and Australasia. Marilyn Lake and Henry
Reynolds show how in the late nineteenth century and early
twentieth century these countries worked in solidarity to exclude
those they defined as not-white, actions that provoked a long
international struggle for racial equality. Their findings make
clear the centrality of struggles around mobility and sovereignty
to modern formulations of both race and human rights.
