Recommended

A thoroughly researched and interesting account of one of the under-examined mileposts in the still on-going civil rights struggle. Ms. Newbeck evokes the Loving case, as well as its antecedents and successors, in their historical, political and very personal contexts. As noted in the book description, this is also a particularly timely book in light of the current controversies regarding gay marriage.
