-In this probing and pathbreaking book Craig-Henderson goes where few scholars have gone before, to a deep examination of daring interracial relationships black women have with white men..... While small in number, they are bold pioneers living the halting racial changes of a still white-dominated society. In poignant stories of cross-racial relationships, we feel their uncertainties, fears, pain, as human beings caught between two racial worlds. . . . .The interviews reveal how racism crashes into daily worlds, but also how intimate relationships across the color line can provide personal respite and resistance.- --Joe R. Feagin, the Ella C. McFadden professor, Texas A & M University

Feagin, the Ella C. McFadden professor, Texas A & M University -Craig-Henderson nicely blends concepts from social psychology and sociology with material from participants from the study. The strength of the book is the infusion of theory throughout.
