A mixture of social comment and personal experience, One Love shows the true level of prejudice that exists in modern day England. The result is a book that challenges previously held views about multiculturalism. Crucially, the book addresses the unique problems experienced by black women/white men partnerships. It is a book to make you think differently about the world we live in. It is also a sign of hope.. It delves into the underbelly of inter-racial relationships and discusses the pain, pleasures and pitfalls of such liaisons. One Love is a book that shows the reality of inter-racial love. Why? Because Bobby is a white, cider-bellied punk rocker and Margaret a black, Methodist, Nigerian. NO FUTURE? 'It will never work.' 'They are just too different.' 'Sleep with a white man? No thanks.' 'Look at the state of him, those clothes!' Just some of the comments directed at Margaret and Bobby Smith during their ten-year marriage. Taking their relationship as a starting point, our co-authors also explore wider issues such as: segregation, self-hate, sex and identity. Written from their dual perspective, they honestly debate the issues that affect those who marry out of their culture. Through the eyes of Mr and Mrs Smith we see how two people can conquer prejudice, intolerance and hate. A hate that comes from both sides
