New Book: A Black Girl's Guide To Interracial Dating

I have been reading about interracial dating and relationships lately. I have been reading about inter-ethnic relationships too, what makes them work, and about the initial reasons why people from all races and ethnic groups are attracted to others.

"Black Girl's Guide to Interracial Dating" reminds me of this book, "Why Black Men Love White Women: Going Beyond Sexual Politics to the Heart of the Matter (Paperback)"

It also reminds me of another book by Randall Kennedy,"Interracial Intimacies: Sex, Marriage, Identity, and Adoption (Paperback). He said it very well, ""Slavery constituted the principal backdrop against which whites and blacks encountered one another for over two hundred years, from the 1660s to the 1860s..."

Whether we are talking about Blacks getting interested in white women or White women being interested in Blacks, the backdrop is the slavery that is at the root of the relationship.

Many of these books offer more information than others. Those that delve into history, sociology, politics, law and other disciplines to explain the attraction provide more background info.

Here we are not talking about Black/White relationship only. There are all kinds of interracial relationships out there. Chinese/Koreans/Japanese/American/French/Hmong/British/German relationships exist. The list can go on. What do you think about interracial relationships these days?

People are attracted to each other. They want to know the other person. After all, a man is looking for a woman and a woman, a man from any racial and ethnic groups.
