Because contemporary American culture is shaped by a legacy of race-based stratification, action in relationship is fraught with risks of disconnection and violation. This paper will explore options for moving beyond self-limiting racial-ethnic constructions to expanded possibilities for growth in relationship. | | Order # | Price | Pub.
