This study discusses the role of interracial romance in the discourses of early modern expansion into South and Southeast Asia. I focus on poems, travelogues, histories, and plays---including Camoes's Os Lusiadas, van Linschoten's Itinerario, Argensola's Conquista de las islas Malucas, Fletcher's The Island Princess, and Dryden's Amboyna---that juggle the mutually constituted categories of race, class, and gender in an effort to celebrate and naturalize certain structures of dominance both at home and abroad. Taken collectively, these texts compellingly suggest that the 'mixed' heterosexual couple played a crucial function in plots of nation-making and empire-building. While the pragmatics of these imbricated projects varied enormously, interracial romance defined an area where their discursive strategies remained relatively consistent: by privileging certain cultural competencies and dictating certain sexual prescriptions, they marked the boundaries of an emerging modern (European, bourgeois) subjectivity |
