Anti-miscegenation rhetoric inverted republican contact ideals into a segregation demand

Evidence

The same Panty who urged more, not less, “direct contact” with Africans knew this language as well and spoke it on occasion. When yellow fever broke out again in Dakar in 1913, he wrote that “it has been noted that the presence of natives from outside the colony in close proximity to Europeans exacerbates yellow fever and malaria” i “It is as if the anopheles absorbs from black blood a renewal of its strength, a new vitality” i “Black children … conserve and sustain the am aryl virus.” The solution: “segregation” and “attentive surveillance” of black villages. — Alice L.
