Reviews
This book provides a thorough examination of the socio-historical and political circumstances surrounding interracial relationships in this country particularly as they pertain to African American and white couples. I think this book has great potential and it will fill a gap in the educational curriculum at colleges and universities across the country with courses on family diversity.
