Whatever Happened to Interracial Love?

'I adored this book' (Zadie Smith) on this rediscovered classic set-in the Civil Rights era

A rediscovered classic set-in the Civil Rights era. 'From the first page you know you're in the hands of an exceptional writer ... I adored this book.' - Zadie SmithIt is the long, hot summer of 1963 and New York is filled with lovers, dreamers and protestors. Young African-American women grow out their hair and discover the taste of new freedoms. Young men, white and black, travel south to fight against segregation, praying for a society in which love is colour-free. Written in the late 1960s and early 1970s but overlooked in Kathleen Collins's lifetime, these stories mark the debut of a masterful writer whose electrifying voice was almost lost to history.
