"Why can a "white" woman give birth to a "black" baby, while a "black" woman can never give birth to a "white" baby in the United States? What makes racial "passing" so different from social mobility? Why are interracial and incestuous relations often confused or conflated in literature, making "miscegenation" appear as if it were incest? Werner Sollors examines these questions and others in Neither Black Nor White Yet Both, a new and fully researched investigation of literary works that, in the past, have been read more for a black-white contrast of "either-or" than for an interracial realm of "neither, nor, both, and in-between.""
"In this study of "inter-racial" literature, the author examines: why, in the US, a "white" woman can give birth to a "black" baby, but a "black" woman will never give birth to a "white" baby; what makes racial "passing" different from social mobility; and how "miscegenation" is presented as incest."@en
