520    Race may well be a part of the everyday fabric of most 
       Americans' lives but what exactly is it? What does it mean
       to be white or black or some place in between? How do we 
       come to our racial identities? Are we influenced more by 
       our parents, by school, jobs, friends, strangers, lovers, 
       the evening news? These questions confront many Americans,
       but perhaps none more so than those people whose parents 
       come from two different racial groups. 
520 8  Journalist Lise Funderburg traveled across America 
       interviewing adult children of black-white interracial 
       unions. In Black, White, Other she presents their views on
       race in America. 
520 8  Here are forty-six candid, incisive oral accounts from 
       filmmakers, law students, lab assistants, hair stylists, 
       artists, day laborers, and educators about how they see 
       themselves and the world - and how they fit and don't fit 
       in a society where, historically the mixing of the races 
       has incited jail terms, lynchings, and fiercely guarded 
       family secrets. Topics covered include love and marriage, 
       racism in the workplace, and bringing up children in a 
       racially divided world. 
520 8  . Interracial relationships continue to be taboo among 
       many factions in this country. Interracial marriage, in 
       fact, was still outlawed in seventeen states until 1961, 
       when those laws were overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court.
       Just as interracial relationships were deemed unacceptable,
       so were the offspring of those unions. Accounts in 
       newspapers and novels portray these children as "tragic 
       mulattoes," destined to a life on the margin of society, 
       certain to be rejected by all. 
520 8  For as long as Blacks and Whites have chosen to settle 
       down and marry in America, they have confronted the 
       question: But what about the children? In Black, White, 
       Other, the adult children speak about their childhoods and
       their lives. While the stories told will put to rest 
       forever the notion that the offspring of black-white 
       unions are certain to be tragic mulattoes, there is also 
       plenty here that shows the power of race both to affirm 
       and destroy. 
520 8  Rut above all, the stories show the extraordinary capacity
       of people to make their way in the world - and the 
       essential problems in America's whole, artificial 
       construct of race. Every now and then a book comes along 
       that brings new light and new understanding to the racial 
       divide. Black, White, Other is such a book.
