In exploring an array of intimacies between strangers, this book
reveals how human relationships, dignity, and collaborations are
experienced among global migrants. Nayan Shah takes a novel
approach by examining both the legal histories of hundreds of
interracial marriages involving South Asians and the countless
court cases documenting illicit sexual contact between South Asian
men and white, Chinese, and Native American men. Shah illuminates a
stunning, transient world of heterogeneous social relations. At the
same time, he demonstrates how the United States and Canada, in
collusion with each other, actively sought to exclude and
dispossess nonwhite "races." "Stranger Intimacy" reveals the
intersections between capitalism, the state's treatment of
immigrants, sexual citizenship, and racism in the first half of the
twentieth century.
