Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Previous sociological research on interracial intimacy has focused on interraciality as a social problem, failing to consider how these relationships may experienced as both a liability and a source of social capital for White partners. Scholars, therefore, have neglected an opportunity to examine interraciality as a site in which White partners may reconceptualize their sense of racial identity and cultivate a critical analysis of how race, racism, and racialization operate in their lives. In this article we respond to these omissions by drawing upon two separate longitudinal ethnographic research projects conducted by the authors with members of 80 Black/White interracial couples living in the eastern United States (New York, Philadelphia, and Washington DC) and England. We demonstrate that White partners who develop �racial literacy,� begin to rethink and evaluate their everyday practices and the social processes that reproduce their privilege.
