Title: Mixed Feelings
Description: "Yasmin Alibhai-Brown is a leading black female commentator in the British media, and her new book offers insight on mixed-race Britain. Opening with a historical perspective, she traces up to the twenty-first century the reactions - often rabid - to mixed-race relationships, and the influences of imperialism and large-scale immigration. With research drawn from couples, parents and children, she offers us unique insight into the stresses as well as the strengths of links across the race divide. She asks why social policy makers have been so slow to deal with the particular problems of this growing and significant group. The influence of race on national identity is a crucial current debate and this book gives voice to the issue, addressing difficult dilemmas but also suggesting positive solutions to the often instinctive reactions aroused by the breaking down of old barriers. Mixed Feelings is an essential report into the future of the nation."--BOOK JACKET.
