Dangerous Liaisons

Sex and Love in the Segregated South

By: Charles Frank Robinson

In the South after the Civil War, segregation--and race itself--was based on the idea that interracial sex posed a biological threat to the white race. In this groundbreaking book, Charles Robinson examines how white southerners enforced antimiscegenation laws. His findings challenge conventional wisdom, documenting a pattern of selective prosecutions under which interracial domestic relationships were punished even more harshly than transient sexual encounters.

Remembrances in Black

Personal Perspectives of the African American Experience at the University of Arkansas, 1940s–2000s

By: Charles F. Robinson II,Lonnie R. Williams

With the admittance in 1948 of Silas Hunt to the University of Arkansas Law School, the university became the first southern public institution of higher education to officially desegregate without being required to do so by court order. The process was difficult, but an important first step had been taken. Other students would follow in Silas Hunt's footsteps, and they along with the university would have to grapple with the situation. Remembrances in Black is an oral history that gathers the personal stories of African Americans who worked as faculty and staff and of students who studied at the state's flagship institution. These stories illustrate the anguish, struggle, and triumph of individuals who had their lives indelibly marked by their experiences at the school. Organized chronologically over sixty years, this book illustrates how people of color navigated both the evolving campus environment and that of the city of Fayetteville in their attempt to fulfill personal aspirations. Their stories demonstrate that the process of desegregation proved painfully slow to those who chose to challenge the forces of exclusion. Also, the remembrances question the extent to which desegregation has been fully realized.

Engaging Missouri

An Epic Drama of Love, Honor, and Redemption Across the Color Line

By: Charles Frank Robinson II

Engaging Missouri is the epic drama of a powerful but tragic love affair that takes place in Arkansas in the 1880s. Based on actual events, this historical fiction details the efforts of Isaac Bankston, a white sheriff and former Confederate soldier, and Missouri Bradford, a young, beautiful woman of color, to hold on to the love that they have for each other despite the significant obstacles that stand in their way. Isaac and Missouri live in a white South bent on preventing genuine affection across the color line. Add to this fact that Isaac is married when his affair with Missouri begins and one has an explosive combination that influences the lives of all of the people connected to this drama. In the end, Isaac learns that the only way that he can continue engaging Missouri is to be willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. Engaging Missouri is a story that illustrates the complexity of the human condition as individuals strive to negotiate their desires with society's sometimes uncompromising demands.
