Towards a new research agenda?

Foucault, Whiteness and Indigenous sovereignty

Queensland University of Technology

Indigenous sovereignty as an area of study is usually analysed by legal scholars and political theorists who locate it within a judicio-political framework. This article is offered as a work in progress to stimulate sociological thinking about Indigenous sovereignty in a different way. The article considers recent work in Whiteness studies in Australia and abroad, as well as literature using Foucault’s idea of the relationship between race, sovereignty and war.

Key Words: biopower • race • sovereignty • war • Whiteness
