Racism, Misogyny, and the Othello Myth: Inter-racial Couples from Shakespeare to Spike Lee
Daileader, Celia R. (Florida State University)
This book considers inter-racial sexual relations in Anglo-American literature from the English Renaissance to contemporary times, arguing the predominance of the model based upon William Shakespeare's tragedy Othello. Daileader highlights the one-sidedness of this cultural obsession, which effaces or denies black women's widespread sexual abuse by their white masters.
