Alfred White, a London park keeper, rules his home with a mixture of rigidity and tenderness that has estranged his three children. For years, Alfred's daughter Shirley and her black partner Elroy have avoided her comically ignorant younger brother Dirk, who admires his father and hates people of colour. But family ties are strong: when Alfred collapses on duty one day, all the children rush to be with him. The scene is set for bloodshed, forcing Alfred to make a climactic choice between justice and kinship. Exploring the roots of racism in British society, The White Family traces what happens when a family reaches breaking point after years of love and hate, violence and polite silence. This twentieth-anniversary edition includes an introduction by Bernardine Evaristo and a note from the author revealing the story behind this contemporary classic. SHORTLISTED FOR THE ORANGE PRIZE FOR FICTION AND THE INTERNATIONAL IMPAC DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD 'In this ground-breaking new novel, Maggie Gee bravely and uniquely explores the nuances of racism from the perspective of the perpetrators, within the context of family relationships. The resulting work is a brilliant depiction of British society at the end of the twentieth century.'-- Bernardine Evaristo, author of Girl, Woman, Other 'Outstanding ... tender, sexy and alarming.' -- Jim Crace 'Courageous, honest, powerfully real'-- The Times 'Gee is unflinching in her exploration of the causes and consequences of racism.'-- The Observer 'The White Family points to new directions in British writing. Full of power and passion as well as some timely warnings ... it deserves the widest possible readership.'-- Literary Review 'A transcendent work.'-- Daily Telegraph 'A triumph of hope over despair, reconciliation over bitterness ... an unashamedly contemporary novel that embraces the ideological and emotional chaos of our time.'-- The Independent 'An audacious, ground-breaking condition-of-England novel that delves for the roots of xenophobic hatred and violence in the English hearth ... The White Family is finely judged and compulsively readable. Its head-on scrutiny of the uglier face of fair Albion is the more impressive for its rarity in British fiction.'-- The Guardian

In The Wallace-White Family: Images, Letters, and Legacies, Richard White takes an innovative approach to connecting with his 16 great-great grandparents, 8 great-grandparents, and 4 grandparents plus one. Using black-and-white photos from the 1860s to the 2020s, White uses brief biographies as springboards for letters to his ancestors. He asks his great-great grandparents, Alexander McRobbie and Wilhelm Christian Sauer, why they left their native Scotland and Germany in the 1850s and what it was like to settle in their adopted communities of Milford, New Hampshire and Brooklyn, New York. The answers to Whites’ questions about his relatives’ lives, their decisions and motivations, their triumphs and sorrows, are lost in time and in the distant past. But the very act of posing the questions and imagining their answers gives White a profound sense of engaging in conversation with his ancestors. He feels closer to them than ever before--and this is the hope he shares with his readers.

Winner of the Labriola Center American Indian National Book Award. One of the American West’s bloodiest—and least-known—massacres is searingly re-created in this generation-spanning history of native-white intermarriage. At dawn on January 23, 1870, four hundred men of the Second U.S. Cavalry attacked and butchered a Piegan camp near the Marias River in Montana in one of the worst slaughters of Indians by American military forces in U.S. history. Coming to avenge the murder of their father—a former fur-trader named Malcolm Clarke who had been killed four months earlier by their Piegan mother’s cousin—Clarke ’s own two sons joined the cavalry in a slaughter of many of their own relatives. In this groundbreaking work of American history, Andrew R. Graybill places the Marias Massacre within a larger, three-generation saga of the Clarke family, particularly illuminating the complex history of native-white intermarriage in the American Northwest.

On this journey called life, I am now, closer to the end, than I am to the beginning. For this reason, I feel some urgency in completing this book. My mission is to pass on as much information about our family history as possible, for my children. I write with much sadness in my heart. This was never the dream for my children, to learn from a book. As you read through this book, I pray you experience the same emotions, as I did writing it. You will take a journey through time, from Germany, Scotland, Ireland, ending in the United States. On this trip you will share joy and sadness, life and death, marriage and divorce. To some it may seem like a roller-coaster ride, but to me, it's my life. You will be presented with opinions and facts, and ultimately it's your choice for what you believe. On our journey through time, you will see attempts to overthrow corrupt governments, and the following effects. We will explore some unjust laws of government, and the church. We will look at my families' involvement in all of this. Government rebellion, Church reformation, and fighting unjust laws! Stay close, and you to, will brush elbows with some of history's most famous people, just as my ancestors have. The likes of Daniel Boone, Daniel Morgan, and lastly a 23-year-old, George Washington, future president of the United States. If you laugh, and you cry, and you learn, and this makes you think, then my work has been a success.
