История любви чернокожего американского солдата и француженки: книга о межнациональном браке после Второй мировой

Married Across the Color Line: The True Story of a Black American GI and a French Woman in Postwar Europe by Daniel C. Freeman Author Published, August 2026 A Black American GI. A French woman. A wartime romance that became an interracial marriage — and a family story preserved in hundreds of letters, documents, and photographs. Married Across the Color Line tells the remarkable true story of P. Frank Freeman, an African American soldier who met Sophie Rousseau in Paris in 1944. Their relationship led to marriage in 1946, but their lives soon became entangled in custody battles, immigration laws, military bureaucracy, and the racial realities of postwar America and Europe. Drawing on hundreds of letters in French and English, military records, legal documents, government correspondence, and family records, Daniel C. Freeman reconstructs his parents’ story and the circumstances that shaped his own childhood. Part historical documentary and part family history, the book offers a personal look at the human consequences of war, race, immigration, and separation. The book is available in hardcover, paperback, and Kindle editions.
