Incorporating life-history narratives and interviews with those currently or previously involved with an interracial partner, Kumiko Nemoto addresses the contradictions and tensions\u2014a result of race, class, and gender\u2014that Asian Americans and whites experience.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to black\/white relationships, stereotypes have long played crucial roles in AsianAmerican\/white encounters. Partners grapple with media representations of Asian women as submissive or hypersexual and Asian men are often portrayed as weak laborers or powerful martial artists. <em>Racing Romance<\/em> reveals how allegedly progressive interracial relationships remain firmly shaped by the logic of patriarchy and gender inherent to the ideal of marriage, family, and nation in America, even as this ideal is juxtaposed with discourses of multiculturalism and color blindness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Racing Romance: Love, Power, and Desire Among Asian American\/ White Couples Rutgers University Press June 2009 208 pages 6 x 9 Paper ISBN: 978-0-8135-4533-2 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-8135-4532-5 Web PDF ISBN: 978-0-8135-4852-4 Kumiko Nemoto, Associate Professor of Sociology Western Kentucky University Despite being far from the norm, interracial relationships are more popular than ever.
