Abstract
The book “Interracial families: tensions between color and love”by Lia Vainer Schucman, 2018, analyzes through interviews, five interracial families, seeking to understand how the issues of color, race and racism are lived and meant by different family members and transmitted between generations. It also deals with the intrapsychic and interpsychic dimensions of the experiences, to demonstrate that within these families it is possible to build strategies to face racism, and the embrace and elaboration of violence, but this is also the locus of legitimation and racist experience. At the end, he points out: i) the need to recognize the damages that cause inequality in the social experience of race and racialization of subjects; ii) racial literacy as the appropriation of a new way of being, acting and thinking to overcome whiteness.
