Interracial Intimacy: The Regulation of Race and Romance Book

As late as the 1960s, states could legally punish minorities who either had sex with or married persons outside of their racial groups.

The writing is clear and accessible, the evidence is evocative, and the ideas are challenging."—Beth Kiyoko Jamieson, Law and Politics Book Review "U.
