Interracial Intimacy: The Regulation of Race

As late as the 1960s, states could legally punish minorities who either had sex with or married persons outside of their racial groups. In this first comprehensive study of the legal regulation of interracial relationships, Rachel Moran grapples with the consequences of that history, candidly confronting its profound effects on not only conceptions of race and identity, but on ideas about sex, marriage, and family.

Rachel F. Moran is the Robert D. and Leslie-Kay Raven Professor of Law at the University of California School of Law, Berkeley.
