Is Marriage for White People?: How the African American Marriage Decline Affects Everyone by Ralph Richard Banks

3.0

Overall this book is pretty depressing for an African American women to read, whether married or single. All we heard from were single and divorced women. No notes from married women and especially married men or even single men.

I'm also not sure how I feel about the conclusion, that the solution is for African American women to date and marry interracial in hopes of attracting back African American males. It seems like a big fallacy.

I did enjoy the chapters on "mixed marriages".
