Despite being far from the norm, interracial relationships are more
popular than ever. ""Racing Romance"" sheds special light on the
bonds between whites and Asian Americans, an important topic that
has not garnered well-deserved attention until now. Incorporating
life-history narratives and interviews with those currently or
previously involved with an interracial partner, Kumiko Nemoto
addresses the contradictions and tensions - a result of race,
class, and gender - that Asian Americans and whites experience.
Similar to black/white relationships, stereotypes have long played
crucial roles in Asian American/white encounters. Partners grapple
with media representations of Asian women as submissive or
hypersexual and Asian men are often portrayed as weak laborers or
powerful martial artists. ""Racing Romance"" reveals how allegedly
progressive interracial relationships remain firmly shaped by the
logic of patriarchy and gender inherent to the ideal of marriage,
family, and nation in America, even as this ideal is juxtaposed
with discourses of multiculturalism and color blindness.
