Ways of whiteness: harlemising Sydney’s aboriginal redfern. SHAW, W. Australian Geographical Studies, 38(3):291–305, 2000. ![Ways of whiteness: harlemising Sydney’s aboriginal redfern [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex The inner Sydney Aboriginal settlement known as The Block has been monitored by police, the media and welfare organisations since its inception in the early 1970s. The Block is the subject of an ongoing commentary, a ‘discourse of decline’ about a place that is commonly considered to be Australia's own Harlem‐like ‘black ghetto’. In stark contrast, the predominantly non‐Aboriginal suburbs of Darlington, Redfern and Chippendale, which surround The Block, are undergoing gentrification. Within this zone of gentrification there are complex and seemingly confused responses to the presence of The Block. The responses challenge and/or embellish the official (‘white’) narrative that The Block is imploding in a sea of drugs, crime and cultural inferiority.
