“…Given that interracial romance has historically been viewed as a moral affront to purity (Dunleavy, 2004), we hypothesized that disgust could play an important role in bias against interracial romance.…”

“…Previous studies have focused on attitudes towards interracial and international dating and on preferences and choices of marriage partners, predominantly in the United States (e.g. Dunleavy, 2004; Everts et al., 2005; Goldstein and Harknett, 2006; Herman and Campbell, 2012; Johnson and Jacobson, 2005), and, to a lesser extent, in Europe (Kalmijn and van Tubergen, 2006; Moscato et al., 2014). This paper will present selected findings from a larger research project 1 on the nexus between mixed unions and sociocultural integration in Catalonia, Spain – a fertile research context that will be explained in the subsequent section.…”

Preference and prejudice: Does intermarriage erode negative ethno-racial attitudes between groups in Spain?

This paper challenges the idea – rooted in classic assimilation theory – that intermarriage clearly erodes social and ethno-racial boundaries and negative attitudes between groups. Drawing on narratives from 58 immigrants of seven different origin countries residing in Catalonia, Spain, who are in romantic partnerships with Spanish-born people, we focus on preferences and prejudices related to mixing. We find that the members of exogamous couples both suffer social discrimination regarding the crossing of ethnocultural borders, particularly from their respective family members – a rejection that is based on negative stereotypes and preconceptions linked to the partner's origin, phenotype or ethnocultural characteristics, such as religion, in intersection with gender. More significantly, we also find that ethno-racial prejudices (particularly when referring to marriage preferences for the respondents and their children) and discriminatory attitudes (towards one's own and other immigrant minority groups) also exist among intermarried couples themselves. In sum, we question the role of mixed unions as a diluter of differences and an accelerator of integration.

“…Gonzalez-Ferrer, 2006; Kalmijn and Luijkx, 2005; Kalmijn and Van Tubergen, 2006; Muttarak and Heath, 2010; Osanami Törngren, 2011; Rodríguez-García et al., 2015), such studies have been predominantly conducted in the United States (e.g. Dunleavy, 2004; Everts et al., 2005; Goldstein and Harknett, 2006; Johnson and Jacobson, 2005). These studies show that those who have prior interracial contact or have established friendship over racial and ethnic boundaries are more likely to be positive about intermarriages and also more likely to intermarry.…”

Toward building a conceptual framework on intermarriage

Increasing migration worldwide and the cultural diversity generated as a consequence of international migration has facilitated the unions of people from different countries, religions, races, and ethnicities. Such unions are often celebrated as a sign of integration; however, at the same time as they challenge people's idea of us and them, intermarriages in fact still remain controversial, and even to some extent, taboo in many societies. Research and theorizing on intermarriage is conducted predominantly in the English-speaking North American and British contexts. This special issue includes empirical studies from not only the English-speaking countries such as the U.S., Canada, and the UK, but also from Japan, Sweden, Belgium, France, and Spain and demonstrate the increasingly diverse directions taken in the study of intermarriage in regards to the patterns, experiences, and social implications of intermarriages. Moreover, the articles address the assumed link between intermarriage and “integration.”
