Editorial Reviews
Review
“A useful volume for those who want to know more about the variety of antimiscegenation laws in the South or the gap between statutory law and legal enforcement.”
—Journal of American History
“Valuable not only for its catalog of laws and cases but also for Robinson’s unwavering attention to enforcement and defiance alike.”
—Journal of Southern History
“The most important book on the actual workings of anti-miscegenation law ever written. . . . Robinson shows over and over again that white authorities were less concerned about interracial sex per se than they were with the possibility of white and black people establishing bona fide romantic and domestic relationships. This is an absolutely novel point.”
—James T. Campbell, author of
Songs of Zion: The African Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States and South Africa
(Yale, 1997)
“A comprehensive account not just of the anti-miscegenation laws on the books but also of the implementation of those laws. Thorough, informative, valuable, intriguing. . . . Worthwhile reading.”
—Rachel Moran, author of
Interracial Intimacy: The Regulation of Race and Romance
(Chicago, 2001) --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
