Description
"In 1967, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that laws prohibiting interracial marriage were unconstitutional in Loving v. Virginia. Although this case promotes marital freedom and racial equality, there are still significant legal and social barriers to the free formation of intimate relationships. Marriage continues to be the sole measure of commitment, mixed relationships continue to be rare, and same-sex marriage is legal in only seven out of fifty states. Most discussion of Loving celebrates the dismantling of marital racial discrimination. This book, however, takes a more critical approach to ask how Loving has influenced the 'loving' of America. How far have we come since then, and what effect did the case have on individual lives"--Provided by publisher.
