Dear All, White Nation and Against Paranoid Nationalism have long run out of print and I often get queries concerning their republication. I am always gratified that people struggling for genuinely egalitarian forms of inter-cultural relations still find them useful, even if this usefulness is also a sad reflection on how little has changed in this domain for the last twenty years. What Muslim communities are being subjected to in the West yet again today is but a sorry example of this situation.This e-book publication contains both books but also a number of articles that were written after them. When I began planning this republication I always had in mind to donate my royalties to an organisation doing some useful work in Palestine. I am particularly happy that this organisation has ended up being the Rachel Corrie Foundation. Like many I was saddened and outraged by the killing of Rachel while she was defending a Palestinian home from demolition in 2003. But even more so, I was particularly moved by her writings. They exemplified to me the kind of critical inter-cultural consciousness I was implicitly nudging my readers and students towards in my own work. I was glad that the Australian Society of Authors offers this e-book publication service in return for 20% of the book’s price. This means that of the A$14.99 you pay for this book almost A$12.00 (minus taxes) will go to the Rachel Corrie Foundation. So, please buy this book and circulate this as much as you can.
