Unmasking the Racial Contract is a study of one such workplace: the Australian Public Service. Bargallie shows that despite claims of fairness, inclusion, opportunity, respect and racial equality for all, Indigenous employees continue to languish on the lower rungs of the Australian Public Service employment ladder. By showing how racism is normalised in white institutions, Bargallie aims to help us see and understand \u2014 and ultimately challenge \u2014 racism.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"677\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/debbiebargallie.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/9781925302653-677x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11\" style=\"width:213px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/debbiebargallie.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/9781925302653-677x1024.jpg 677w, https:\/\/debbiebargallie.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/9781925302653-198x300.jpg 198w, https:\/\/debbiebargallie.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/9781925302653-768x1162.jpg 768w, https:\/\/debbiebargallie.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/9781925302653.jpg 898w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 677px) 100vw, 677px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This original and innovative book, written from an Indigenous standpoint, is the first to use race as a key framework to critically examine the discrimination faced by Indigenous employees in an Australian institution. Bargallie provides an insider\u2019s perspective and privileges the voices of other Indigenous employees, and she applies critical race theory to unmask the racial contract that underpins the \u2018absent presence\u2019 of racism in the Australian Public Service. Bargallie provides an important counter-narrative to the pervasive myth of meritocracy, and encourages readers to consider the effects of the racial contract in colonial\u2013colonised relations in Australia more broadly<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Excited to announce that my book&nbsp;Unmasking the racial contract: Indigenous voices on racism in the Australian Public Service&nbsp;has now been published by Aboriginal Studies Press&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/debbiebargallie.au\/?p=1\">More&#8230;<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Unmasking the racial contract: Indigenous voices on racism in the Australian Public Service is now published and available<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":127,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-critical-race-theory","category-indigenous-peoples-and-work","ratio-natural","entry"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/debbiebargallie.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Unmasking-the-racial-contract-Available-Now.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/debbiebargallie.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/debbiebargallie.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/debbiebargallie.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/debbiebargallie.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/debbiebargallie.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/debbiebargallie.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":146,"href":"https:\/\/debbiebargallie.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1\/revisions\/146"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/debbiebargallie.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/127"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/debbiebargallie.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/debbiebargallie.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/debbiebargallie.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
