Contents:
Introduction: Two great dangers -- Racism, race, race war : in search of conceptual clarity -- A genealogy of modern racism, part 1 : the White man cometh -- A genealogy of modern racism, part 2 : from Black lepers to idiot children -- Scientific racism and the threat of sexual predation -- Managing evolution : race betterment, race purification, and the American eugenics movement -- Nordics celebrate the family -- (Counter) remembering racism : an insurrection of subjugated knowledges.
Summary: Does the black struggle for civil rights make common cause with the movement to foster queer community, protest anti-queer violence or discrimination, and demand respect for the rights and sensibilities of queer people? Confronting this emotionally charged question, Ladelle McWhorter reveals how a carefully structured campaign against abnormality in the late 19th and early 20th centuries encouraged white Americans to purge society of so-called biological contaminants, people who were poor, disabled, black.
