Perspectives On Black - White Interracial Relationships In The South, Celeste Andria Wheat

Legacy ETDs

By analyzing 12 in-depth interviews with individuals who live in the South Georgia area and who are involved in Black-White interracial relationships, I explain how respondents perceive the appearance of their relationships and how they think others react to their relationships.

Although there have long been black lawyers in South Africa, during apartheid only a handful joined the ranks of the country’s large commercial firms.

While firms’ incentives to integrate …
