Another way home : ISBN: 0226318230 OCLC: 53954137 University of Chicago Press, Chicago : ©2004. "In her prologue to Another Way Home, Ronne Hartfield notes the dearth of stories about African Americans who have occupied the area of mixed race with ease and harmony for generations. Spanning most of the twentieth century, Hartfield's book celebrates the special occasion of being born and reared in a household where miscegenation was the rule rather than the exception - where being a woman of mixed race could be a fundamental source of strength, vitality, and courage." |
