ISSN   1556-5068. Initially, whites included the northern and western Europeans who were the bulk of the U.S. population in 1790. But the arrival of new immigrants from Ireland, China, Japan, India, and southern and eastern Europe between the middle of the 19th, and early decades of the 20th century put immense pressure on the legal definition of "white" as well as on the political response to changing immigration patterns.

Asian immigrants were deemed non-white and racially ineligible for citizenship by legislation and the courts. European immigrants and, importantly, Mexican immigrants were considered white by law and eligible for naturalization.

This dissertation recovers a history of immigrants in the South who were not totally "white" but who were not "black" either.
