Re: A book not to be reckoned with.

Over the past five years, I have been working on a research project regarding cross-cultural relations. I needed to find a medium that would allow me to focus upon the intenseness of cross-cultural relations in regards to pyschological family stucture. I figured this book would be beneficial in my study. I was right ! It gave sufficient information concerning the pyschological reasoning for interracial families, stereotypes, and the every day structure that interracial families possess. This book will challenge anyone to place new perspective race relations, and that is a powerful thing. Excellent work Bea Wehrly, Kelley Kenney, and Mark Kenney !
