One Love Two Colours

NO FUTURE?'It will never work.''They are just too different.' 'Sleep with a white man? No thanks.''Look at the state of him those clothes!'Just some of the comments directed at Margaret and Bobby Smith during their ten-year marriage. Why? Because Bobby is a white cider-bellied punk rocker and Margaret a black Methodist Nigerian. One Love is a book that shows the reality of inter-racial love. Through the eyes of Mr and Mrs Smith we see how two people can conquer prejudice intolerance and hate. A hate that comes from both sides. Written from their dual perspective they honestly debate the issues that affect those who marry out of their culture. The result is a book that challenges previously held views about multiculturalism. Taking their relationship as a starting point our co-authors also explore wider issues such as: segregation self-hate sex and identity. Crucially the book addresses the unique problems experienced by black women/white men partnerships. A mixture of social comment and personal experience One Love shows the true level of prejudice that exists in modern day England. It delves into the underbelly of inter-racial relationships and discusses the pain pleasures and pitfalls of such liaisons. It is a book to make you think differently about the world we live in. It is also a sign of hope.
