About this ebook

The issues that make monogamous dating daunting for people of color—shaming and exclusion by white partners, being fetishized, having realities of everyday racism ignored—occur in polyamorous relationships too, and trying "not to see race" only makes it worse. To make polyamorous communities inclusive, we must all acknowledge our part in perpetuating racism and listen to people of color. Love's Not Color Blind puts forward the framework—through research, anecdotal testimony, and analogy—for understanding, identifying, and confronting racism within polyamorous communities.

    Amazing exploration of the marginalization of black folks in very niche communities like polyamory. The knowledge presented in this book goes so much beyond that though and I think any non-black person especially has so much to learn from this to be a more inclusive and compassionate human being.

    great book covering polyamory from many excellent examples. it does this with examples that include mentions of neurodiversity, disability, class, kink. it details community building that can be used beyond the specific examples.
