Court intrigue and affairs of the heart weave together in this unforgettable page-turner.From the Trade Paperback edition.
Love's Not Color Blind: Race and Representation in Polyamorous and Other Alternative Communities
by Kevin A. Patterson Ruby Bouie JohnsonThe 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.
