In Notorious in the Neighborhood Joshua Rothman examines the full spectrum of interracial sexual relationships under slavery--from Thomas Jefferson Sally Hemings and the intertwined interracial families of Monticello and Charlottesville to commercial sex in Richmond the routinized sexual exploitation of enslaved women and adultery across the color line. He explores the complex considerations of legal and judicial authorities who handled cases involving illicit sex and describes how the customary toleration of sex across the color line both supported and undermined racism and slavery in the early national and antebellum South.
