This book opens with an historical perspective on the reactions to mixed race relationships, and the influences of imperialism and large scale immigration. With research drawn from couples, parents and children, the author offers an insight into the stresses as well as the strengths of links across the racial divide. The influence of race on national identity is explored and positive solutions to the the often instinctive reactions aroused by the breaking down of old barriers are suggested.
