[Black Men in Interracial Relationships] is a well-written, incisive account of how contemporary race relations may be read through the intimate interracial relationships of black men. Craig-Henderson deftly blends the sociological with the deeply personal aspects of racialized intimacy. By critically analyzing intimate relationships across racial lines, her work is a complex rendering of how the structural inequalities attendant to racism are sorely felt-but resisted by-black men. Since so much of white racism continues to take aim at the private realm of interracial marriage and childbearing, this book helps us learn more about how men (and women) negotiate this modern battlefield. -- Shelley Eriksen Departments of Sociology and Human Development California State University, Long Beach -[Black Men in Interracial Relationships] is a well-written, incisive account of how contemporary race relations may be read through the intimate interracial relationships of black men.
