From Outlaw to In-Law

How Multicultural Interfaith Couples Can Become Agents for Social Change

About this book

Multicultural interfaith couples face challenges that span race, religion, culture, caste, and nationality. During times of conflict, they learn new skills and may become leaders for social change and peacemakers in their families. The up-close and personal stories of eight couples show how intersectionality generates resilience, insight, and skills for leadership relevant to bridging our cultural wars today. In this book we experience the challenges couples face, such as institutional resistance in our Catholic/Jewish couple Maria and Adam from Costa Rica and family conflict in our UU-Buddhist/Hindu couple Colleen and Shiva from Texas. Tanya Sadagopan weaves personal stories from her own multicultural interfaith relationship with her Hindu husband Sriram into From Outlaw to In-law. We hear from interfaith couples from around the world who navigate complex identities and become agents for social justice in their everyday lives. From Outlaw to In-law provides families, counseling professionals, and religious leaders with insights, tools, and suggestions on how to transform fear of the religious other into curiosity to form deeper relationships that bear the fruits of social change and advocacy.
