Summary: This book was very well written and informed
Comment: Ms. Moran has done an excellent job with her book documenting the historical suppression of interracial relationships in America since its founding in 1619. She contends, in her book, that black/nonblack relationships are the most reviled. Many white Americans do not want their children to marry blacks and multiracial blacks. They always ask the question to black/white couples: "What about the Children?" They seem to think that biracial offspring are confused about their racial/ethnic identity.
Blacks and Asians are still racialized, with people from the opposite race/gender(Asian women, Black men) marrying out the most. Black women and Asian men have difficulty finding compatible partners from the same race as well as outside.
This book is very well written. This book cannot be easily be shove aside.
Rating: 3
Summary: an okay read for a controversial topic
Comment: Moran is a biracial Latina law professor examining the issue of interracial relations in the United States. She starts by suggesting that analyzing race separatism must not end with segregation in schools and housing; we must look at the personal choices of marriage and adoption as well. She gives a history of race-mixing and prohibitions against it, the Loving decision which made such marriages legal in this country, and the modern continuance of most people's choosing same-race coupling. This book was more historical and statistical, rather than legal. Moran does an excellent job of looking at Blacks, Latinos, Asians, and Natives equally. The book is neither as pessimistic as "Jungle Fever" or as optimistic as "Fools Rush In". This book will validate and challenge readers of all racial backgrounds. My only criticism is that the book is disturbingly heterosexist. Moran's refusal to look at interracial relationships among gay men and lesbians borders on homophobia. Otherwise, this was a decent book.
