Melissa Fleming, an award-winning author of A Hope More Powerful than the Sea\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrowing up Black in America, Tineka Smith knew she had to behave in a certain way because of the color of her skin. She faced restrictions imposed upon her by an unfair system; don't talk back to White people, expect to be stopped by the police, and work twice as hard as your White peers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlex Court, a White British man, moved through his life in a very different way. As someone with White and male privilege, he saw himself represented in every field of life and so he always had the confidence to excel and push forward.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Tineka and Alex first fell in love, they didn't realize how much the color of their skin might impact on their relationship. But as time went on, and as their lives and cultures became interwoven, they recognized how dramatically different their experiences were.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Mixed Up, Tineka and Alex open up about their interracial relationship for the first time, and with anecdotes, analysis, and raw revelations, the pair attempt to navigate their new and challenging world, confronting race and relationships in the 21st century head-on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 182g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 128 x 197 x 23 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781472286987\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tineka Smith,Alex Court","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44097752629498,"sku":"9781472286987","price":9.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/8265c792cedb969169ab9ca246354e63.jpg?v=1623389219","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/mixed-up-confessions-of-an-interracial-couple","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
