The interconnected constructions of race and sexuality at the turn of the century.
Analysing a range of sources, including sexology texts, early cinema, and African American literature, the author argues that the emerging understanding of homosexuality depended on the context of the black/white "colour line," the dominant system of racial distinction during the late nineteenth century.
