Race and Relationships is the manifestation of the vision of Dr. James E. Brooks. It is a curation of resources including, academic papers, books, blogs, and media that take a critical perspective on the influence of race in interracial relationships and multiracial families. Under Dr. Brooks’ direction, Race and Relationships showcases the work of his research team as well as that of other scholars. The content of Race and Relationships reflects the personal values of its creator in that there are multiple ways of knowing and that truth of experiences can be found in many places. As such, posts to the blog are as likely to reference journal articles as they are books meant for popular consumption or popular media. At its core, Race and Relationships is a collection, a resource, a tool for research and catalyst for community. https://www.raceandrelationships.com/research daily 0.75 2024-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede6050914894000907b2c7/1591993817560-APBF04N5EGTW2LGP6POZ/Identity-and-Intimacy.png Research Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede6050914894000907b2c7/1591993089745-5UJI7S6V1G5Q0XICMHEV/Admire.png Research Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede6050914894000907b2c7/1591996271242-ER26MZLCUDNF3DRPERD7/Racial-Worldview.png Research Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede6050914894000907b2c7/1612112460755-E2PWBQSEXYH5BZ851RTC/maybe.png Research Projects https://www.raceandrelationships.com/resources daily 0.75 2020-06-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede6050914894000907b2c7/1591979302955-OFH7CU72FHYRHB9PBWAE/Loves+not+color+blind.jpg Race and Relationships Resources - Loves’s not Color Blind - Kevin Patterson The issues that make monogamous dating daunting for people of color—shaming and exclusion by white partners, being fetishized, having realities of everyday racism ignored—occur in polyamorous relationships too, and trying “not to see race” only makes it worse. To make polyamorous communities inclusive, we must all acknowledge our part in perpetuating racism and listen to people of color. Love's Not Color Blind puts forward the framework—through research, anecdotal testimony, and analogy—for understanding, identifying, and confronting racism within polyamorous communities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede6050914894000907b2c7/1591979777476-FB2YVW9T2B2YPT293QBF/love+hour.jpg Race and Relationships Resources - The Love Hour Kevin & Melissa are a young married couple, bringing you a fresh take on love and relationships.

Killian Grounded in the personal narratives of twenty interracial couples with multiracial children, this volume uniquely explores interracial couples' encounters with racism and discrimination, partner difference, family identity, and counseling and therapy. It intimately portrays how race, class, and gender shape relationship dynamics and a partner's sense of belonging. Assessment tools and intervention techniques help professionals and scholars work effectively with multiracial families as they negotiate difference, resist familial and societal disapproval, and strive for increased intimacy. The book concludes with a discussion of interracial couples in cinema and literature, the sensationalization of multiracial relations in mass media, and how to further liberalize partner selection across racial borders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede6050914894000907b2c7/1591980341494-BC1CO8Y1T0SO6CYAUFLT/mixxed+nutzz.png Race and Relationships Resources - Mixxed Nutzz Swinging, BDSM and all sub-cultures within the Lifestyle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede6050914894000907b2c7/1591981362826-FM29CHONF51PH2139BE8/intimate+race+work.jpg Race and Relationships Resources - Beyond Loving - Amy c. Steinbugler Beyond Loving provides a critical examination of interracial intimacy in the beginning decades of the twenty-first century-an era rife with racial contradictions, where interracial relationships are increasingly seen as symbols of racial progress even as old stereotypes about illicit eroticism persist. Drawing on extensive qualitative research, Amy Steinbugler examines the racial dynamics of everyday life for lesbian, gay, and heterosexual Black/White couples. She disputes the notion that interracial partners are enlightened subjects who have somehow managed to "get beyond" race. Instead, for many partners, interracial intimacy represents not the end, but the beginning of a sustained process of negotiating racial differences. Her research reveals the ordinary challenges that partners frequently face and the myriad ways that race shapes their interactions with each other as well as with neighbors, family members, co-workers and strangers. Steinbugler analyzes the everyday actions and strategies through which individuals maintain close relationships in a society with deeply-rooted racial inequalities-what she calls "racework." Beyond Loving reveals interracial intimacy as an ongoing process rather than a singular accomplishment. This analytic shift helps us reach a new understanding of how race "works"-not just in intimate spheres, but across all facets of contemporary social life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede6050914894000907b2c7/1591981545009-4P3TXRK2X3QTECOZ2LCG/biracial+families.jpg Race and Relationships Resources - Biracial Families - Roudi Nazarinia Roy & Alethea Rollins This interdisciplinary volume surveys the diverse experiences of biracial families, both across and outside the black/white binary. The book examines the deep-rooted social contexts that inform the lifespan of interracial families, from dating and marriage through the stages of parenthood, as well as families’ unique responses and realities. Through a variety of structures and settings including blended and adoptive families, contributors describe families’ strengths and resilience in meeting multiple personal and larger social challenges. The intricacies of parenting and family development are also revealed as an ongoing learning process as parents and children construct identity, culture, and meaning.
