Possessing Polynesians: The Science of Settler Colonial Whiteness in Hawai'i and Oceania
In Possessing Polynesians Maile Arvin analyzes how “the science of settler colonial whiteness” shaped Euroamerican colonialism in Hawaii and Oceania. Arvin presents an expansive definition of science that includes natural history, genetics, and genomics, as well as a range of techniques, epistemic postures, and moral logics that undergird Euroamerican colonialism. The book begins with nineteenth-century studies of Polynesian origins asserting tha…
Sexual selection as race making
Charles Darwin's theory of sexual selection, as described in The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex (1871), should be viewed as a significant transitional point in the modern expression of race. Unlike earlier race theorists, Darwin proposed that sexual reproduction was not merely a testing ground of racial character, but was itself a causal force that could create new races. His account of race was distinctly modern - viewing race …

A Roundtable Discussion on Collecting Demographics Data
Identifying this natal link between statistical identities and distanced control does not of course mean that we should reject statistically “enumerated identities” tout court in favor of some more “fuzzy identities.”62 To do so would be to lapse into an ahistorical fantasy of return. This is where our third key theme, difference, comes into play—difference not merely in the sense of something that is disciplined and contained but, rather, as an …

Race and Religion Introduction
Breeding Mixed-Race Women for Profit and Pleasure
During the early nineteenth century, men of science in the United States investigated the sexual fecundity of mixed-race women in their attempts to establish an empirically based theory of race. Although much has been written about this theory, known as polygenism, as the first "scientific" approach to race, less focus has been given to the role that the bodies and behaviors of mixed-race women played in this new science. Uncovering details of th…
Wild at Heart: How Sociobiology and Evolutionary Psychology Helped Influence the Construction of Heterosexual Masculinity in American Evangelicalism
During the 1990s, American evangelical texts contended that men have a stronger sex drive than women and that this natural sexual aggression makes men better suited to leadership roles in marriage, church, and society. Although this theology, called complementarianism, had earlier roots in conservative Protestantism, the connection that evangelicals made between male sexuality and male leadership was influenced by the scientific fields of sociobi…
