Summary: Where is the companion volume?
Comment: This is a wonderful book shedding light on something no one ever admits, namely the obsession of white women with black men. This does indeed expose the true taboo that no one ever mentions and that no one dares to speak of. But what the problem is here is that this book doesn't discuss the other side of this erotic coin. No where is it mentioned what all these white men were doing while their women were out with black men. The truth is that all these white men where cavorting with the young black women who frequently served as nannies and cooks in these households in the 19th century. In fact Strom Thurmonds own dalliance in the early 20th century with a teenage black women was simply the norm in those days. Yet no book dares to expose the other side of a coin that many know about, the illicit 'jungle fever' of Caucasian men for African America women. So this book is a mixed bag, it examines one nature of inter-racial relations while ignoring another segment of 19th century society.
