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.
