Publisher Description: Science, Sexuality, and Race in the United States and Australia, 1780-1940, Revised Edition is a sociohistorical tour de force that examines the entwined formation of racial theory and sexual constructs within settler colonialism in the United States and Australia from the Age of Revolution to the Great Depression. Gregory D. Smithers historicizes the dissemination and application of scientific and social-scientific ideas within the process of nation building in two countries with large Indigenous populations and shows how intellectual constructs of race and sexuality were mobilized to subdue Aboriginal peoples. Gregory D. Smithers is an associate professor of history at Virginia Commonwealth University. He is the author of several books, including The Cherokee Diaspora: An Indigenous History of Migration, Resettlement, and Identity, and is the coeditor of Native Diasporas: Indigenous Identities and Settler Colonialism in the Americas (Nebraska, 2014). |
