More about the book

Exploring the stigma surrounding non-normative relationships, this work delves into the historical and cultural taboos that have led to the denial of kinship among slaves, interracial couples, and same-sex partners. Christopher Peterson examines how these relationships are often associated with the specter of death, revealing the underlying societal fears and refusals that persist in American culture.
