Peggy Pascoe Biography

Peggy Pascoe is one of the most popular and richest Historian who was born on October 18, 1954 in Butte, Montana, United States.

While Pascoe’s earlier doctoral work and first book, Relations of Rescue: The Search for Female Moral Authority in the American West, 1874–1939, found a geographical focus in the western United States, What Comes Naturally offers a consideration of how interracial marriages were variously policed by different states and geographical regions at different times in American history. Spanning the long century between the 1860s – when the word “miscegenation,” from miscere (to mix) and genus (species) came into popular usage and the watershed Loving v. Virginia case in 1967, Pascoe draws together legal theory, court testimony, oral history, and media archives to show the long and complicated history of miscegenation law in the U.S, and to give a sense of the vast range of people whose lives were effected by these oppressive legislative acts.

Peggy Ann Pascoe (October 18, 1954 – July 23, 2010) was an American historian. She was the Beekman Professor of Northwest and Pacific History and Professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of Oregon. She was a member of the University of Oregon History Department from 1996 until her death on July 23,

2010. Prior to her work at UO, Pascoe worked as an assistant professor and then associate professor at the University of Utah, where she taught courses on women’s history, race, and sexuality. Pascoe’s work centers on the history of race, gender, and sexuality, with a particular investment in law and the U.S. West. Together with George Lipsitz, Earl Lewis, George Sanchez, and Dana Takagi, Pascoe edited the influential American Crossroads book series in Ethnic Studies, published by the University of California Press. Pascoe held this position for fifteen years.

The book consists of nine chapters and is divided into four parts: 1) Miscegenation Law and Constitutional Equality, 1863-1900, 2) Miscegenation Law and Race Classification, 1860-1948, 3) Miscegenation Law and Its Opponents, 1913-1967, and 4) The Politics of Colorblindness, 1967-2000. Part one examines the ways in which early American modes of citizenship were tied to gender and sexuality, and shows how the scandal of “illicit sex” between races became a hot-button issue in the Civil War and reconstruction periods, following the abolition of slavery. Part two looks at how the government surveilled, managed, and restricted such “illicit” relationships through legislation that criminalized marriage between people of different racial or ethnic backgrounds, while the third section of the book explores how resistance movements of the 1960s opposed these discriminatory acts, culminating in the Loving v. Virginia trial. The section of the book mounts a critique of the colorblind logic that has tended to dominate contemporary liberal discourse on race and interracial intimacy since Loving, despite the persistence of racism in American culture at large.

Employing the CRT paradigm, Pascoe recast miscegenation law to argue that it was not simply an affront to individuals’ right to marry who they wanted. From 1880 to 1930, miscegenation law also functioned as “the foundation of the larger racial projects of white supremacy and white purity” and (re)created race. The laws delineated race and judges, lawyers, and all participants in the legal system, including the police, defendants, and plaintiffs, acted according to those definitions of race simply by partaking in the legal process and thus strengthened those definitions in the law. Furthermore, the legislators and legal practitioners reflexive reference to racial categories in the laws, opinions, and court battles naturalized whiteness, blackness, and other constructions demarcated as races. As Pascoe writes, “In practice, miscegenation law acted as a kind of legal factory for defining, producing, and reproducing of the racial categories of the state.”
