Inhaltsangabe

This book considers inter-racial sexual relations in Anglo-American literature from the English Renaissance to contemporary times, arguing the predominance of the model based upon William Shakespeare's tragedy Othello. Daileader highlights the one-sidedness of this cultural obsession, which effaces or denies black women's widespread sexual abuse by their white masters.
