A challenging inquiry into the complex interrelationship between our ideas about race and color and the unconscious, provoking the reader to confront those unconscious attitudes that stand in the way of authentic multicultural relationships. 'I really enjoyed reading this book. It is easy to read and well-presented. It is an important book for anybody to read, whether a counsellor or psychotherapist or one just interested in human relationships. It is a very thought-provoking book. It brings to our awareness how much our image of 'the other' is culturally determined, how we perceive 'colour' or 'race' and how much such attitues cause barriers to authentic human relationships.' - Race and Cultural Education in Counselling (RACE)

'As a trainer in the cross-cultural field I have already included the book on the course reading list. I hope there are many more books of its kind.' - Self and Society Vol 25 No 1
