NUANCED PORTRAITS OF THE LIVES OF CHINESE-INDIAN COUPLES AND STRUGGLES TO COPE WITHIN A POLARISED WORLD. HUMOROUS AND HEART-BREAKING WHILE DEMONSTRATING LOVE' S POWER TO TRANSFORM SOCIETY. ' You shouldn't be with a Chinese girl... that should be my girl, ' a man in Singapore allegedly said this to a Chinese-Indian couple as he spat towards them. In a world brimming with such prejudice and cultural tensions, a remarkable phenomenon emerges-- nearly one in five marriages in the US and in Singapore are now interracial. Rebels, Traitors, Peacemakers, explores this phenomenon through real stories of Indian-Chinese relationships, delving into the love and turmoil in such lives, where cultural boundaries are shattered and hearts are forged against all odds.
