In <em>The Colors of Love<\/em>, Melinda A. Mills explores how multiracial people navigate their complex\u2014and often misunderstood\u2014identities in romantic relationships.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing on sixty interviews with multiracial people in interracial relationships, Mills explores how people define and assert their racial identities both on their own and with their partners. She shows us how similarities and differences in identity, skin color, and racial composition shape how multiracial people choose, experience, and navigate love.<\/p>\n<p>Mills highlights the unexpected ways in which multiracial individuals choose to both support and subvert the borders of race as individuals and as romantic partners. <em>The Colors of Love<\/em> broadens our understanding about race and love in the twenty-first century.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Colors of Love: Multiracial People in Interracial Relationships New York University Press December 2021 312 Pages 24 b\/w illustrations 6.00 x 9.00 x 0.00 in Paperback ISBN: 9781479802418 Hardcover ISBN: 9781479802401 eBook ISBN: 9781479802425 Melinda A.
