An anthology of interracial literature

About this book

Publisher's description: This is the first anthology to explore the literary theme of black-white encounters, of love and family stories that cross, or are crossed by, what came to be considered racial boundaries. The authors of the selections include some of the great names of world literature interspersed with lesser-known writers. Themes of interracial love and family relations, passing, and the figure of the Mulatto are threaded through the volume.
