This book investigates the practices that conjoined blackness and whiteness in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. From widely diverse texts--archival, musical, visual, and theatrical--the author traces the genealogy of racial hybridity, analyzing how key events in the nineteenth century spawned a debate about interracialism that lives on today.
