Reviews

“A stunningly conceived, lucidly written, well supported, nuanced, and absolutely compelling analysis of a culturally repressed and underanalyzed body of important literary materials. Stokes demonstrates with amplifying brilliance the operative interdependence of whiteness and normative heterosexuality.”—Dana Nelson, author of National Manhood: Capitalist Citizenship and the Imagined Fraternity of White Men

“An engaging and well written exploration of nineteenth-century ‘fictions’ of white supremacy that manages to combine wit and erudition.”—Gayle Wald, author of Crossing the Line: Racial Passing in Twentieth Century U.S. Literature and Culture
