The scope of the study ranges from Heliodorus' \u003ci\u003eAithiopika\u003c\/i\u003e to the short novels of Aphra Behn, to the modern romance novel \u003ci\u003eForbidden \u003c\/i\u003eby Beverly Jenkins. This analysis engages with the troublesome racecraft of \"passing\" and the instability of racial identity and its formation from the premodern to the present. The study also looks at the significance of white settler colonialism to early modern romance narratives. A bridge between studies of early modern romance and scholarship on twenty-first-century romance novels, this book is well-suited for those interested in the romance genre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margo Hendricks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance S\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.80w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780866986595","brand":"Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance S","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42440552218761,"sku":"9780866986595","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_7b3c0095-d764-4e3e-8636-9e7462ea9e5d.jpg?v=1716239017","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/race-and-romance-coloring-the-past-9780866986595","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
