Book Reviews of Love in Black and White: A Memoir of Race, Religion, and Romance
Book Review: A different perspective
Summary: 3 Stars
I found the book of interest and enjoyed many segments of it. In particularly, I liked the focus on how to overcome the adversity of one's surroundings and the misperceptions around oneself. The book also is a barometer of how America has changed and for the better too.
Like the authors, I also am married to someone outside my 'race". I came to the US as an immigrant from the Netherlands,earned a PhD in the physical Sciences from an Ivy League University and taught in three major research universities, including an ivy league university and a Big 10 unviersity. Now I run a consulting business. I'm Protestant. My wife is an immigrant from Korea, was educated there as a nurse, and is Buddhist. We met in New York CIty.
If I have learned anything from our multicultiural and multiracial amrriage it is this. The key to keeping it going is mutual respect for each other, mutual respect for the cultures from which we came, a willingness to try new things considered foreign by some, a willingess to accomodate to the partner's wishes even if one doesn't understand the cultural context, and a willingness to try new things. Bill Cohen and Janet Langhart portray these critical components very well.
I realize a review is not the place to advertise but for those interested, the novel "Dissensions" has an interesting subplot and about an inter-racial and multi-cultural marriage. The book can be orderved via:
