Book Synopsis
Since pre-colonial days, America has been both torn apart and united by love, sex, and marriage across racial boundaries. This title provides a historical foundation for contemporary discussions of sex across racial lines, which, despite the numbers of interracial marriages and multiracial children, remains a controversial issue.
