This review is from: Interracialism : Black-White Intermarriage in American History, Literature, and Law (Paperback)
This is a very important book if one wants to know about the multiracial history of America. All too often, we focused on recent interracialism, starting in the sixties when the Supreme Court struck down antimiscegenation laws in 16 states and that current IRs consists of black men/white women and asian women/white men pairs, ignoring all other racial/gender combinations as well as the pre-Loving past.
This book is an eye-opener for me.

This review is from: Interracialism : Black-White Intermarriage in American History, Literature, and Law (Paperback)
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.
