Moving further around the globe to Australia and the Pacific, we are presented with another set of realities. Being black in Australia, by Karina Smith and colleagues from Victoria University in Melbourne, Australia, discusses 'contested and changing meanings of blackness through the history, politics and social formation of the Australian context in which the term "black" has been used as an instrument of coloniality and, at the same time, as a way of resisting and challenging the hegemony of whiteness'. The essay examines the construction of Australia as a white nation based on the terra nullius concept, the colliding definitions of blackness of the Aboriginal Australians and the more recent African and African-descent migrants who also define themselves as black, namely the Caribbean community 'rediasporized' from Europe and the Caribbean. The authors conclude that 'blackness is bound up with resisting whiteness, asserting a presence in Australian society, and creating positive black spaces'. At the same time, solidarity is not automatic, as each community has a different historical trajectory and significant cultural differences, and Aboriginal Australians, though Indigenous people, 'do not yet have sovereignty as the traditional owners of the land'.
