Interracial Relationships in the 21st Century<\/em> is a unique set of essays\u2014both personal and research based\u2014that explore a variety of issues related to interracial couplings in the 21st Century United States. Edited by Earl Smith<\/a> and Angela Hattery<\/a>, professors of sociology at Wake Forest University, this volume brings together the leading scholars in both the social sciences and the humanities who explore interracialities.<\/p>\n

The chapters cover a wide range of topics related to navigating interracial relationships, including a chapter by George Yancey<\/a> and colleagues that focuses on the tensions around interracial relationships in conservative Christian churches, to the role that racism and patriarchy play in shaping intimate partner violence among interracial couples\u2014Smith and Hattery\u2019s own contribution. Kerry Ann Rockquemore<\/a> and Tracey A. Laszloffy<\/a> focus on the children of interracial unions and their attempts to negotiate a racial identity. Wei Ming Dariotis<\/a> uses a personal narrative to explore the discourse and cooption of the term \u201cHapa<\/a>\u201d by a variety of Asian Americans. And, Amy Steinbugler<\/a> offers an examination of the intersections of race, gender, and sexuality in her chapter on interracial, same sex couples. Other contributors include Kellina M. Craig-Henderson, Emily J. Hubbard and Amy Smith.<\/p>\n

In light of the recent election of the first African American president, Barack Obama<\/a>, himself a bi-racial individual living in a multi-racial family, this book could not be more timely.<\/p>\n
