"Queering the Color Line "is a groundbreaking study that sets a new agenda for critical investigations of the intersecting histories of race and sexuality in the United States. Siobhan Somerville provides a model of interdisciplinary, politically engaged scholarship that is certain to become required reading in queer studies, race theory, and U.S. history as well as American literature."--Lisa Duggan, New York University

About the author










Siobhan B. Somerville is Assistant Professor of English and Women's Studies at Purdue University.


Summary

Analysing a range of sources, including sexology texts, early cinema, and African American literature, the author argues that the emerging understanding of homosexuality depended on the context of the black/white "colour line," the dominant system of racial distinction during the late nineteenth century.
