This collection of original essays explores the origins of contemporary notions of race in the oceanic interculture of the Atlantic world in the early modern period. In doing so, it breaks down institutional boundaries between "American" and "British" literature in this early period, as well as between "history" and "literature".

The collection brings together a collection of historians and literary critics specializing in early modern Britain and early America.

When and why did "white people" start calling themselves "white"? When and why did "white slavery" become a paradox, and then a euphemism for prostitution? To answer such questions, Gary Taylor begins with the auction of a "white" slave in the first African American novel, William Wells Brown's "Clotel" 1853), and contrasts Brown's basic assumptions about race, slavery and sexuality with the treatment of those issues in scenes of slave marketing in English Renaissance drama. From accounts of Columbus and other early European voyagers to popular English plays two centuries later, Taylor traces a paradigm shift in attitudes toward white men and analyses the emergence of new models of sexuality and pornography in an "imperial backwash" that affected whites as much as blacks. Moving between the English Renaissance and the "American Renaissance" of the 1850s, this book recovers the lost interracial history of the birth of whiteness.
