Product Description
Interracialism, or marriage between members of different races, has formed, torn apart, defined and divided our nation since its earliest history. This collection explores the primary texts of interracialism as a means of addressing core issues in our racial identity. Ranging from Hannah Arendt to George Schuyler and from Pace v. Alabama to Loving v. Virginia, it provides extraordinary resources for faculty and students in English, American and Ethnic Studies as well as for general readers interested in race relations. By bringing together a selection of historically significant documents and of the best essays and scholarship on the subject of "miscegenation," Interracialism demonstrates that notions of race can be fruitfully approached from the vantage point of the denial of interracialism that typically informs racial ideologies.

Reviews


Solid
This is a great compilation. It covers various aspects of the issues of "interracialism,"-- as the title indicates-- and seeks to historicize the subject in order to gain greater perspective. I appreciate that there are articles by DuBois and Carter G. Woodson next to deep literary analysis on cannonical peices.

It's deep.
