Despite the increased number of interracial marriages in recent years, Black/White couples still experience a host of problems in American society, particularly in the South. Drawing on extensive interviews with 28 Black/White couples living in the South, this ethnographic study describes the issues and obstacles these couples have to face and documents their overwhelming sense of social isolation.

Designed to complement any of the standard textbooks in social gerontology, this work is a set of 19 chapters in 12 categories that can be read in conjunction with chapters in a text. A number of chapters present the findings from recently completed research, while others explore certain topics in more detail than the textbooks do. The categories and chapters were chosen because they present a number of the most important areas in the field and in some cases because they address issues that have not received deserved attention. Topics include the demography, psychology, politics, and...
