NO FUTURE? 'It will never work.' 'They are just too different.'
'Sleep with a white man? No thanks.' 'Look at the state of him,
those clothes ' Just some of the comments directed at Margaret and
Bobby Smith during their ten-year marriage. Why? Because Bobby is a
white, cider-bellied punk rocker and Margaret a black, Methodist,
Nigerian. One Love is a book that shows the reality of inter-racial
love. Through the eyes of Mr and Mrs Smith we see how two people
can conquer prejudice, intolerance and hate. A hate that comes from
both sides. Written from their dual perspective, they honestly
debate the issues that affect those who marry out of their culture.
The result is a book that challenges previously held views about
multiculturalism. Taking their relationship as a starting point,
our co-authors also explore wider issues such as: segregation,
self-hate, sex and identity. Crucially, the book addresses the
unique problems experienced by black women/white men partnerships.
A mixture of social comment and personal experience, One Love shows
the true level of prejudice that exists in modern day England. It
delves into the underbelly of inter-racial relationships and
discusses the pain, pleasures and pitfalls of such liaisons. It is
a book to make you think differently about the world we live in. It
is also a sign of hope.
