Peggy Pascoe demonstrates how these laws were enacted and applied not just in the South but throughout most of the country, in the West, the North, and the Midwest. Beginning in the Reconstruction era, when the term miscegenation first was coined, she traces the creation of a racial\u003cbr\u003ehierarchy that bolstered white supremacy and banned the marriage of Whites to Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos, and American Indians as well as the marriage of Whites to Blacks. She ends not simply with the landmark 1967 case of \u003cem\u003eLoving v. Virginia\u003c\/em\u003e, in which the Supreme Court finally struck down\u003cbr\u003emiscegenation laws throughout the country, but looks at the implications of ideas of colorblindness that replaced them. \u003cem\u003eWhat Comes Naturally\u003c\/em\u003e is both accessible to the general reader and informative to the specialist, a rare feat for an original work of history based on archival research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peggy Pascoe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199772353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeggy Pascoe\u003c\/strong\u003e is Beekman Professor of Northwest and Pacific History at the University of Oregon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40322456682611,"sku":"9.7802E+12","price":35.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_7db075dc-26de-4465-be4e-fe6512e98142.jpg?v=1659446079","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/what-comes-naturally-miscegenation-law-and-the-making-of-race-in-america-9780199772353","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
