A White Side of Black Britain explores the racial consciousness of
white women who have established families and had children with
black men of African Caribbean heritage in the United Kingdom.
Filling a gap in the sociological literature on racism and
antiracism, France Winddance Twine introduces new theoretical
concepts in her description and analysis of white "transracial"
mothers raising their children of African Caribbean ancestry in a
racially diverse British city. Varying in age, income, education,
and marital status, the transracial mothers at the center of
Twine's ethnography share moving stories about how they cope with
racism and teach their children to identify and respond to it. They
also discuss how and why their thinking about race, racism, and
whiteness changed over time. Interviewing and observing more than
forty multiracial families over a decade, Twine discovered that in
most of them, the white woman's racial consciousness and her
ability to recognize and negotiate racism were derived as much from
her relationships with her black partner and his extended family as
from her female friends. In addition to the white birth mothers,
Twine interviewed their children, spouses, domestic partners,
friends, and members of their extended families. Her book is best
characterized as an ethnography of racial consciousness and a
dialogue between black and white family members about the meaning
of race, racism, and whiteness. It includes intimate photographs of
the family members and their communities.
