Interracial Dating And Marriage Summary

Interracial Dating and Marriage by Elaine Landau highlights many of the struggles and hardships interracial couples struggled through daily. Many of the people in my book were stereotyped. The couples were judged by the color of their skin, and no one thought twice; people in society simply saw black and that was the end of it. My book takes place in the 1940’s- 1950’s in New Jersey. This book’s main reason is to inform the people about interracial dating, and to prove the fact that there isn’t a problem with a black man and a white women being together. Places use to be segregated between black and white people. Many of the relationships weren’t aloud to be a thing simply for the fact that they were not the same race. Many parents in
Landau’s book were against the relationship simply because their son or daughter wasn’t dating within their race. Sadly even young people fell victim to this problem. My book highlights the main stories of Roger Silva, Eve Kaplan, Christopher Gregory Sorchaindo, and Linda Marchant.
