Contents Introduction: thinking interstitially -- Coloring between the lines: historiographies of Southern anomaly -- The interstitial Indian: the Lumbee and segregation's middle caste -- White is and white ain't: failed approximation and eruptions of funk in representations of the Chinese in the South -- Anxieties of the "partly colored" -- Productive estrangement: racial-sexual continuums in Asian American as Southern literature -- Transracial/transgender: analogies of difference in Mai's America -- Afterword: continuums, mobility, places on the train
Summary By elucidating the experience of interstitial ethnic groups such as Mexican, Asian, and Native Americans--groups that are held to be neither black nor white--Leslie Bow explores how the color line accommodated--or refused to accommodate--"other" ethnicities within a binary racial system. Analyzing pre- and post-1954 American literature, film, autobiography, government documents, ethnography, photographs, and popular culture, Bow investigates the ways in which racially "in-between" people and communities were brought to heel within the South's prevailing cultural logic, while locating the interstitial as a site of cultural anxiety and negotiation. --From publisher's description
