Interracialism

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 HannahArendt 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 significantdocuments 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.

First sentence: This collection begins with the texts of selected laws (Arizona and Virginia) and the momentous Supreme Court decisions of Pace v. State of Alabama (1883) and Loving v. Commonwealth of Virginia (1967) that mark the modern trajectory of legal thinking about black-white interracialism.
