520 Loving beyond boundaries is a radical act that is changing
America. When Mildred and Richard Loving wed in 1958, they
were ripped from their shared bed and taken to court.
Their crime: miscegenation, punished by exile from their
home state of Virginia. The resulting landmark decision of
Loving v. Virginia ended bans on interracial marriage and
remains a signature case--the first to use the words
"white supremacy" to describe such racism. Drawing from
the earliest chapters in US history, legal scholar Sheryll
Cashin reveals the enduring legacy of America's original
sin, tracing how we transformed from a country without an
entrenched construction of race to a nation where one drop
of nonwhite blood merited exclusion from full citizenship.
In vivid detail, she illustrates how the idea of whiteness
was created by the planter class of yesterday and is
reinforced by today's power-hungry dog-whistlers to divide
struggling whites and people of color, ensuring plutocracy
and undermining the common good. Cashin argues that over
the course of the last four centuries there have been
"ardent integrators" and that those people are today
contributing to the emergence of a class of "culturally
dexterous" Americans. In the fifty years since the Lovings
won their case, approval for interracial marriage rose
from 4 percent to 87 percent. Cashin speculates that
rising rates of interracial intimacy--including cross-
racial adoption, romance, and friendship--combined with
immigration, demographic, and generational change, will
create an ascendant coalition of culturally dexterous
whites and people of color. Loving is both a history of
white supremacy and a hopeful treatise on the future of
race relations in America, challenging the notion that
trickle-down progressive politics is our only hope for a
more inclusive society. Accessible and sharp, Cashin
reanimates the possibility of a future where interracial
understanding serves as a catalyst of a social revolution
ending not in artificial color blindness but in a culture
where acceptance and difference are celebrated.
