Demonstrates that between 1880 and 1940, cultural discourses of whiteness and heterosexuality fused to form a new concept of the “normal” American. Building her argument from detailed readings of an array of popular texts and focusing on how sex education for children and marital advice for adults provided significant venues for the dissemination of the new ideal of normality, Carter concludes that because its overt concerns were love, marriage, and babies, normality discourse facilitated white evasiveness about racial inequality.
