White punk rocker Bobby Smith and black Nigerian wife Margaret Oshindele-Smith have had to conque prejudice, intolerance and hatred from both sides, routinely fighting off derogatory comments about their marriage, such as “It will never work,” “they’re just too different,” and “sleep with a white man – no thanks!”
Written from their dual perspective, One Love, Two Colours , lays bear the myth that England is a nation that values and appreciates diversity and provides an honest debate about the issues that affect those who marry out of their culture.
The result is a book that challenges previously held views on the concept of multiculturalism. Taking their relationship as a starting point, the authors explore issues such as segregation, self-hatred, sex and identity. Crucially the book also addresses the unique problems experienced by black women/white men partnerships.
