Science, Sexuality, and Race in the United States and Australia, 1780–1940

This groundbreaking book, "Science, Sexuality, and Race in the United States and Australia, 1780–1940," offers a comprehensive examination of the intertwined formation of racial theory and sexual constructs within settler colonialism in both countries.

Through a comparative analysis of the two nations with large Indigenous populations, the author sheds light on how intellectual constructs of race and sexuality were mobilized to subdue Aboriginal peoples.

With two new chapters added to this revised edition, this book provides a singular contribution to the study of transnational and comparative settler colonialism, expanding on recent scholarship while illuminating both the subject of scientific study and the national histories of the United States and Australia.

This thought-provoking work could have a profound impact upon scholarly thinking in relevant fields, making it an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of race, sexuality, and nationhood.
