In four notably nuanced essays, Guterl suggests a parallel between U.S. problems of racial classification at the turn of the 20th and the 21st centuries. He argues that, then as now, the black-white binary of racial identity faced the demographic realities of myriad ethnic and racial groups and engendered fear of disuniting the U.S. community. Focusing on what he fixes as the nation's cultural market centered on New York City's borough of Manhattan, Guterl juxtaposes the lives of four turn-of-the-20th-century New Yorkers: Irish American nationalist Daniel Cohalan, eugenicist and white supremacist Madison Grant, African American advocate W.E.B. Du Bois, and mixed-race novelist Jean Toomer. Showing their individual fascination with race and its politics, Guterl unpacks each individual's race consciousness. The work is absorbing reading bound to take a place alongside recent works on race, and particularly whiteness., Guterl highlights the lives and work of a number of personalities during the early part of the twentieth century, who reflect the transformation of racial identity in the U.S. Among those profiled are Daniel Cohalan, an Irish-American nationalist and substantial political figure in New York; Madison Grant, a eugenist and white supremacist; W. E. B. Du Bois, an African American social scientist; and Jean Toomer, a novelist and racial pluralist.

Synopsis
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 book., 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.
