Dance and romance across racial boundaries
John Fabian Witt. American Contagions
COVID-19 has racked up over six million deaths and 622 million recovered people in three years. Its toll is unevenly distributed, with the highest case numbers and death toll in the United States, United Kingdom, Brazil, India, and South Africa, while also sweeping across Europe and Latin America. An expert in American legal history, John Fabian Witt has written a brisk and concise volume to explain the history of court decisions, laws, and gover…
Lifeways of Intimacy under Duress
The essay reflects on transient migrant life and the yearning for companionship and care that permeates Tsai Ming-liang’s film, I Don’t Want to Sleep Alone (2006). Facing social abandonment, migrants and drifters claim space and reshape it as both shelter and social exchange. This process reveals the breadth of flexible solicitude and care in cross-racial and cross-class encounters and relationships that are forms of stranger intimacy

Adjudicating Intimacies on U.S. Frontiers
Between "Oriental Depravity" and "Natural Degenerates
This article examines how a series of California court cases in the 1910s and 1920s recast the boundaries of American masculinity by tackling the ambiguities of sexual and social interaction between male adolescents and Asian migrant workers. Specifically, the prosecutors and police characterized South Asian and Chinese men as the importers of "unnatural" sexual practices. Police suspicion of illicit and immoral activity remade the spatial locati…
