Killian has made a major contribution to the scholarly literature on multiracialism in the twenty-first century, providing a means to affirm interracial intimacy while reinforcing, rather than rejecting or retiring, an anti-racist political project. This book should be required reading for all those in the helping professions struggling to understand better the matrix of race, gender, class, and sexuality in and beyond their clinical practice. To the extent that they are animated by a desire to live and love in a more just and equal world, rather than a 'free market,' this learned study should appeal to academic and general audiences alike., Without fear, Kyle Killian, inquires systematically into the lives of twenty interracial couples. Moving beyond simple ethnographic curiosity, this book invites readers to appreciate how race relations unavoidably make its way into the most intimate spaces. Adopting the best of a strength-oriented approach, this book wonderfully weaves history, couple formation, human development theory, and family systems approaches, and social constructionist psychotherapy approaches, to illuminate the lived experience of interracial couples. This book will be a must addition in counseling psychology, couples therapy, multicultural counseling courses. It will also be a welcome addition in undergraduate courses in family and human development courses. Moreover, interracial couples and their families will find a world of wisdom in this book; it will be a good preventive measure for those navigating the complexities of interracial intimacy., Kyle D. Killian provides a backdrop to the experiences of twenty interracial couples by connecting them to the literature, cinema, and to the intersection of power, gender, culture, race and class. He is not crazy about the "no race talk" rule some interracial couples adopt. He contends that moving beyond silence about race can be transformative, even revolutionary. He provides a number of ways professionals can help interracial couples make sense of their experiences of marginalization, find their voice, and reauthor their family identities in life-giving ways. In so doing, this book is emancipatory., Without fear, Kyle D. Killian inquires into the lives of interracial couples, inviting readers to appreciate how race relations unavoidably makes its way into the most intimate spaces. Adopting a strengths-oriented approach, his book wonderfully weaves history, couple formation, human development theory, family systems approaches, and social constructionist psychotherapy approaches to illuminate interracial couples' lived experience. It is a must addition in counseling psychology, couples therapy, and multicultural counseling courses and a welcome addition to undergraduate courses in family and human development., Killian does an excellent job of discussing the intersections of race, gender, and socioeconomic factors as they affect the development and progression of intimate relationships in the lives of his participants... A strong contribution to the literature on working therapeutically with such couples and to the broader literature on multiracial families., Killian uses a variety of in-depth interviews to craft authentic and compelling narratives in support of his case for interventions. His literature review is comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and up to date, and the issues he names are current and relevant. This book captures the realities of today's interracial couples, and will become a landmark reference for seasoned scholars and practitioners, as well as for students in the social sciences and clinical professions., Kyle Killian has made a major contribution to the scholarly literature on multiracialism in the 21st century, providing a means to affirm interracial intimacy while reinforcing, rather than rejecting or retiring, an anti-racist political project. Indeed, we see herein that those couples that most openly engage the latter demonstrate the greatest capacity to genuinely achieve the former. Interracial Couples, Intimacy, & Therapy should be required reading for all those in the helping professions struggling to understand better the matrix of race, gender, class and sexuality in and beyond their clinical practice. To the extent that they are animated by a desire to live and love in a more just and equal world, rather than a 'free market', this learned study should appeal to academic and general audiences alike., Killian connects the experiences of twenty interracial couples to literature, cinema, and the intersections of culture, race, gender, and class. Contending that moving beyond silence about race can be transformative, he provides ways that professionals can help interracial couples make sense of their experiences of marginalization, find their voice, and reauthor their family identities in life-enhancing ways. This emancipatory book is for all those who support and celebrate relationships that may not fit society's conventions., This comprehensive, up-to-date book captures the realities of today's interracial couples via authentic and compelling narratives and is a landmark reference for seasoned scholars and practitioners, as well as for students in the social sciences and clinical professions.

Synopsis
Grounded in the personal narratives of twenty interracial couples with multiracial children, this volume uniquely explores interracial couples' encounters with racism and discrimination, partner difference, family identity, and counseling and therapy. It intimately portrays how race, class, and gender shape relationship dynamics and a partner's sense of belonging. Assessment tools and intervention techniques help professionals and scholars work effectively with multiracial families as they negotiate difference, resist familial and societal disapproval, and strive for increased intimacy. The book concludes with a discussion of interracial couples in cinema and literature, the sensationalization of multiracial relations in mass media, and how to further liberalize partner selection across racial borders.
