Award-winning historian Ann McGrath illuminates interracial relationships from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth century through stories of romance, courtship, and marriage between Indigenous peoples and colonizers in times of nation formation.The romantic relationships of well-known and ordinary interracial couples provide the backdrop against which McGrath discloses the "marital middle ground" that emerged as a primary threat to European colonial and racial supremacy in the Atlantic and Pacific Worlds from the Age of Revolution to the Progressive Era. These relationships include the controversial courtship between white, Connecticut-born Harriett Gold and southern Cherokee Elias Boudinot; the Australian missionary Ernest Gribble and his efforts to socially segregate the settler and aboriginal population, only to be overcome by his romantic impulses for an aboriginal woman, Jeannie; the irony of Cherokee leader John Ross's marriage to a white woman, Mary Brian Stapler, despite his opposition to interracial marriages in the Cherokee Nation; and the efforts among ordinary people in the imperial borderlands of both the United States and Australia to circumvent laws barring interracial love, sex, and marriage.Illicit Love reveals how marriage itself was used by disparate parties for both empowerment and disempowerment and came to embody the contradictions of imperialism. A tour de force of settler colonial history, McGrath's study demonstrates vividly how interracial relationships between Indigenous and colonizing peoples were more frequent and threatening to nation-states in the Atlantic and Pacific worlds than historians have previously acknowledged"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "Wedding New Worlds revises histories of interracial love, sex, and marriage amid legal and cultural barriers created to regulate and make illegal the liaisons between indigenous and non-indigenous people in Australia and the US from the late 18th century to the 20th century"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Interracial marriage $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Interracial marriage $z Australia $x History. 650 0 $a Miscegenation $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Miscegenation $z Australia $x History. 650 0 $a Indigenous people $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Indigenous people $z Australia $x History. 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Australia & New Zealand. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / Native American Studies. $2 bisacsh 830 0 $a Borderlands and transcultural studies. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017020817.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826041641.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D9B0A780ECCE11E5A64DF5B3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
