Love as an unique experience. But how equal and free are we really in choosing our partners? What do some couples go through in their everyday attempts to simply be together? In the form of personal essays, the authors of this book courageously give an insight into their private lives. They report on what happens in romantic relationships when race, origin or culture become an issue. Based on their own experiences, their texts explore in an astute, stirring and thoughtful way whether we can still find each other in a world that is still deeply divided.

GUESTS:
Aseman G. Bahadori is happiest when she is writing. As an editor, her love for writing and know-it-alling has free reign. Her second most favourite activity is developing campaigns for good causes. As a scholar in migration studies, she insists on an intersectional and non-eurocentric perspective. Aseman remains a philosopher and writer at heart – as well as a bit of Sailor Moon.
