With the social change brought on by the Great Migration of African
Americans into the urban northeast after the Great War came the
surge of a biracial sensibility that made America different from
other Western nations. How white and black people thought about
race and how both groups understood and attempted to define and
control the demographic transformation are the subjects of this new
book by a rising star in American history.
An elegant account of the roiling environment that witnessed
the shift from the multiplicity of white races to the arrival of
biracialism, this book focuses on four representative spokesmen for
the transforming age: Daniel Cohalan, the Irish-American
nationalist, Tammany Hall man, and ruthless politician; Madison
Grant, the patrician eugenicist and noisy white supremacist; W. E.
B. Du Bois, the African-American social scientist and advocate of
social justice; and Jean Toomer, the American pluralist and
novelist of the interior life. Race, politics, and classification
were their intense and troubling preoccupations in a world they did
not create, would not accept, and tried to change.
