Okitikpi (academic and visiting professor, U. of Bedfordshire, England) provides a guidebook for practitioners and therapists who work with children from multicultural and multiracial backgrounds. In it, the author stresses that to understand the experiences of those children it also is necessary to understand the experiences, social pressures, and other issues that face their parents. The book provides both a historical context to enhance that understanding and an examination of the social, cultural, and other factors such as discrimination that children and adults experience in interracial relationships.
