This book begins with a look back at a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Leonard_Rhinelander#Divorce_trial\" target=\"_blank\">1925 case<\/a>, in which a two-month marriage ends with a man suing his wife for misrepresentation of her race, and shows how our society has yet to come to terms with interracial marriage. Angela Onwuachi-Willig examines the issue by drawing from a variety of sources including her own experiences. She argues that housing law, adoption law, and employment law fail, in important ways, to protect multiracial couples.\u00a0 In a society in which marriage is used to give, withhold and take away status\u2014in the workplace and elsewhere\u2014she says interracial couples are at a disadvantage, which is only exacerbated by current law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Our Hearts: Rhinelander v.
