Q: "Navigating Interracial Borders: Black-White Couples and their Social Worlds," Erica Chito Childs Erica Chito Childs examines the experiences and challenges that Black/White couples face within their families and communities. Although interracial relationships and marriages are often viewed as a sign of improving race relations, she argues that these relationships are often met with opposition from both White and Black communities. She examines the discourse that families use when discussing their feelings and beliefs about interracial relationships. She finds, for example, that White families often pose their opposition to Black/White marriage in non-racial terms and stress that they are "concerned" for how difficult society would make life for the child who is involved interracially.
