Here&#8217;s the Prize Committee&#8217;s citation:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>What Comes Naturally<\/em> is a comprehensive, interesting, and important sociolegal history that takes us through the history of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mixedracestudies.org\/?p=450\" target=\"_blank\">miscegenation<\/a> law beyond its commonly accepted geography. It analyzes how by \u201cnaturalizing\u201d miscegenation law, politics, religious beliefs and scientific knowledge came together to sustain a set of legal parameters that eventually became policy in the post <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/American_Civil_War\" target=\"_blank\">Civil War<\/a> world throughout the United States, enhancing and expanding the Black\/White race dichotomy, while complicating it in gendered terms. The book is an outstanding contribution richly nuanced and insightful. It expands our understanding of conceptions of race, not only in the South, but elsewhere. It contains as well a superb elucidation of the role that gender played in the process of defining and elaborating on miscegenation&#8230;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read the entire article <a href=\"http:\/\/legalhistoryblog.blogspot.com\/2010\/06\/2010-hurst-prize-winner-peggy-pascoe.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2010 Hurst Prize Winner: Peggy Pascoe, What Comes Naturally Legal History Blog 2010-06-03 Mary L.
