Traces the reasoning employed by the courts in their efforts to justify the whiteness of some and the non-whiteness of others, and revealed the criteria that were used, often arbitrarily, to determine whiteness, and thus citizenship: skin color, facial features, national origin, language, culture, ancestry, scientific opinion, and more.

Drawing together some of the writing on race and racism from the law and society tradition, this anthology is designed as a 'how-to manual', a guide for scholars and students seeking templates for their own work in this important area.
