About this book

This book is the first to explore the history of a powerful category of illicit sex in Americas past: liaisons between Southern white women and black men. Martha Hodes tells a series of stories about such liaisons in the years before the Civil War explores the complex ways in which white Southerners tolerated them in the slave South and shows how and why these responses changed with emancipation.
