Whether motivated by violent conquest, economics, lust, or love, such unions have disturbed some of America's most sacred beliefs and prejudices. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Sex, Love, Race provides a historical foundation for contemporary discussions of sex across racial lines, which, despite the numbers of interracial marriages and multiracial children, remains a controversial issue today. The first historical anthology to focus solely and widely on the subject, \u003ci\u003eSex, Love, Race\u003c\/i\u003e gathers new essays by both younger and well-known scholars which probe why and how the specter of sex across racial boundaries has so threatened Americans of all colors and classes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Traversing the whole of American history, from liaisons among Indians, Europeans, and Africans to twentieth-century social scientists' fascination with sex between \"Orientals\" and whites, the essays cover a range of regions, races, ethnicities, and sexual orientations. In so doing, \u003ci\u003eSex, Love, Race\u003c\/i\u003e sketches a larger portrait of the overlapping construction of racial, ethnic, and sexual identities in America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martha Hodes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814735568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814735565\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.22h x 7.22w x 1.81d","brand":"Martha Hodes","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44120321032447,"sku":"9780814735565","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c27c7692-466a-4ea0-983e-594a9bd3b0f6.jpg?v=1687413696","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sex-love-race-martha-hodes-9780814735565","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
