Book Review

Dangerous Liaisons: Sex and Love in the Segregated South. By Charles Frank Robinson II. (Fayetteville: University of Arkansas Press, 2003. xvi, 196 pp. $29.95, ISBN 1-55728-755-4.)

Drawing primarily on state appellate court cases and census data, Charles Frank Robinson II argues that southern states throughout the period were more interested in policing an intimacy color line than a sexual line. Antimiscegenation laws, he argues, supported white patriarchal power, and they were applied more harshly to black men and white women than to white men and black women.
