The Colors of Love
People of different races have been falling in love for centuries, but it has only been in the last 30 years that interracial relationships have become acceptable in American society—not to mention by local police. This book addresses the problems facing interracial couples from a black perspective. From interracial dating to marriage and child rearing, it talks frankly about racism and discrimination, deals with the disapproval of relatives, discusses the challenges of blending cultures and traditions at home, and celebrates the richness that an interracial relationship offers. Based on interviews with hundreds of biracial couples, this invaluable, savvy handbook will help black Americans navigate the challenges of having a white partner.
Matters of the Heart
Philip Soutar died at Ypres in 1917. Before becoming a soldier, Soutar's life revolved around his farm at Whakatane, where he lived with his Maori wife Kathleen Pine in an 'as-you-please marriage, uncelebrated by a clergyman'. Matters of the Heart introduces us to couples like Philip and Kathleen to unravel the long history of interracial relationships in New Zealand. That history runs from whalers and traders marrying into Maori families in the early nineteenth century through to the growth of interracial marriages in the later twentieth. It stretches from common law marriages and Maori customary marriages to formal arrangements recognised by church and state. And that history runs the gamut of official reactions—from condemnation of interracial immorality or racial treason to celebration of New Zealand's unique intermarriage patterns as a sign of us being 'one people' with the 'best race relations in the world'. In the history of intimate relations between Maori and Pakeha, public policy and private life were woven together. Matters of the Heart reveals much about how Maori and Pakeha have lived together in this country and our changing attitudes to race, marriage and intimacy.
Intermarriage in the United States
Therapists who work with couples will find valuable background information on some of the major ethnic groups who intermarry in the United States--black, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, Korean, Philippino, and Caucasian. Intermarriage in the United States presents A thorough compilation of information on issues of interracial and intercultural marriage in the United States, focusing particularly on the difficulties and failures of the marriages. This unique and much-needed volume focuses on the psychological conditions of the marriage partners, intermarriage as an indicator of social assimilation and integration, hypergamy, including both caste and class hypergamy, and much more.
Race Mixing
Marriage between blacks and whites is a longstanding and deeply ingrained taboo in American culture. On the eve of World War II, mixed-race marriage was illegal in most states. Yet, sixty years later, black-white marriage is no longer illegal or a divisive political issue, and the number of such couples and their mixed-race children has risen dramatically. Renee Romano explains how and why such marriages have gained acceptance, and what this tells us about race relations in contemporary America. The history of interracial marriage helps us understand the extent to which America has overcome its racist past, and how much further we must go to achieve meaningful racial equality.
Race and Family
"The author provided interesting, original examples which I found engaging. . . . I think the biggest strength is avoiding the ′one ethnicity per chapter′ approach found in so many books on family diversity. I like the structural approach." - Hilary A. Rose, Concordia University "A very useful book as a companion text for courses on race and ethnicity....The chapters are easy to follow for undergraduate students." - Renxin Yang, Northern Michigan University "I think the book is needed because there are limited choices currently available and this book is moving in the right direction....A strength is that it is not an edited book like so many other books on this topic. There is a need fo...
Interracial Marriages Between Black Women and White Men
Interracial marriages between African Americans and Caucasian Americans in the United States are the least common of all interracial marriages, with marriages between black women and white men being the less frequent of the two combinations. Since the 1990s, however, increasing numbers of black women have been marrying white men. This book examines the dynamics of race, social class and marriage in contemporary American society specifically with respect to marriages between African Americans and Caucasian Americans, comparing and contrasting the experiences of couples in both intermarriage patterns. Despite being the focus of extensive sociological and psychological research during the latte...
