Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
In this stirring interracial love story, black author Mark Mathabane ( Kaffir Boy) , born in a South African ghetto, and his white American wife, Gail, recall in alternating chapters their meeting, courtship, marriage and decision to have children.
Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.
From Library Journal
While Mark Mathabane's previous autobiographical accounts, Kaffir Boy ( LJ 4/1/86) and Kaffir Boy in America ( LJ 6/1/89), focus respectively on the horrors of growing up black in South Africa and his trials and successes as a student and writer in America, this sequel deals explicitly with his courtship and marriage to a white American woman. Intriguingly structured with alternate accounts by husband and wife, Love in Black and White is, finally, a hymn of praise to the power of love in the face of deeply felt societal bigotry. The Mathabanes contend that black women show the greatest hostility when a successful black man marries a white woman. In spite of occasional triteness, highly recommended for all libraries.
