Synopsis "Mixed up: Confessions of an Interracial Couple (in English)"
An interracial couple gives an honest glimpse into how they've dealt with the tension of race in their relationship and their lives. When Tineka Smith and Alex Court first fell in love, neither were prepared for the disconnect between them when it came to race. As a Black American woman, Tineka struggled with the oppression and microaggressions she faced on a daily basis, and it took Alex, a White British man, a lot of soul-searching to see that his life-long expectations were skewed by his privilege. The couple's struggles were amplified when the Black Lives Matter movement swept across the United States and the world. Mixed Up is their confessional. In a series of alternating chapters, Tineka and Alex share their deepest feelings and the lessons they've learned about race and privilege--from their childhoods to their education and workplace experiences to thoughts about their future children. While Tineka finds herself in the role of racial equality advocate in her own relationship, Alex learns what it means to be a true ally as a person--and a husband. In all its raw heartache, humor, and honesty, their story brings hope that there is a future in which interracial relationships and families can find love and acceptance. "An illuminating book that will challenge what you think you know about relationships, cultural diversity and race." --Olivette Otele, historian and author of African Europeans "A must read book that will change the way we see mixed race couples and make us question our own entrenched beliefs." --Melissa Fleming, award-winning author of A Hope More Powerful Than the Sea
