#Blacklove: The Intricacies and Intimacies of Romantic Love in Black Relationships - Paperback

by Tapo Chimbganda (Contribution by), Carissa McCray (Contribution by), Jade Benn (Contribution by)

This edited volume qualifies black love on the basis of black identity. Much of what is experienced of blackness as an identity arises out of a juxtaposition to other races and identities, particularly whiteness. The contributors in this volume resist the idea of black love in reference to whiteness by exposing the hidden toxicities that come with a focus on whiteness. They reflect on intricate and intimate relationship dynamics that arise out of a violent and challenging past between Black women and Black men.
