Swaying: Essays on Intercultural Love

by Jessie Carroll Grearson, Anora Egan, Lauren B. Smith (Contributor)

Intercultural couples struggle, often quite successfully, with the kind of questions anyone who wants to live responsibly in a multicultural world must raise. They live, as we must all learn to do, in a place where multiple cultures find expression. This engaging anthology of literary nonfiction celebrates the creative potential of choosing diversity and explores in many voices the real-life social, cultural, and spiritual consequences of this choice. These are the honest voices of women who have made commitments across national and cultural lines, who have moved toward the revitalizing and educating potential of such partnerships.

Loved this book--so honest and familiar. I could relate to so many of these women's stories. As an added bonus, since it was published by the University Of Iowa Press the authors often have a connection to Iowa City in some way.

great for anyone in a cross-cultural relationship, especially internationally
