{2026 New Release} The Mixed Marriage Project: A Memoir of Love, Race, and Family by: Dorothy Roberts From Dorothy Roberts, author of Killing the Black Body and a writer who “has brilliantly illuminated the Black experience in America for decades” (Bryan Stevenson), comes a spirited and riveting memoir of growing up in an interracial family in 1960s Chicago and a daughter’s journey to understand her parents’ marriage—and her own identity. Dorothy Roberts grew up in a deeply segregated Chicago of the 1960s where relationships barely crossed the “colorline.” Yet inside her own home, where her father was white and her mother a Black Jamaican immigrant, interracial marriage wasn’t just a part of her upbringing, it was a shared mission.

THE MIXED MARRIAGE PROJECT delves into both the romantic and research partnership of Dorothy’s parents and is also a look at the ways women had to fight to be involved and acknowledged in academic research as well as in the home. #newrelease #DorothyRoberts #TheMixedMarriageProject #Atria
