Fantasies of ‘reverse colonisation’ are about settler colonialism: Stuart Ward, ‘”Regular White man”: Reveries of reverse colonization’, in Daniel Geary, Camilla Schofield, Jennifer Sutton (eds), Global white nationalism, Manchester University Press, 2020

Abstract: Stuart Ward discusses how conservatives have harnessed history to their cause, tapping into a vein of popular anxiety rooted in readings of the colonial past still prevalent in Australia, Britain, and other former British settler colonies. Invoking the memory of colonization, they stir memories of the very conditions of post-war decolonization that had originally burst the bubble of White Australia. The spectre of a “home” defiled by peoples once kept in their colonial place was remarkably reminiscent of the Powellite moment in 1960s England, and the wider dislocations of an unravelling empire. Moreover, it was consistent with the very earliest invocations of “decolonization” that invariably harboured fears of “the colonized becoming colonizers”. This chapter draws out the Australian perspective on white nationalism in the Anglosphere.
