ABSTRACT
Rates of inter-marriage between races have dramatically increased in the United States over the past 50 years. Despite this shift, the relationships between interracial couples and their in-laws remain understudied. The purpose of this article is to provide preliminary insight into a variety of issues that 13 interracial couples faced with their parents-in-law. After a literature review and discussion of the methods, we present themes and categories that emerged from the interviews. Our hope is that this analysis may offer a starting lens for social workers to understand the nexus of interracial marriage and in-law relationships.
