Your Family

Studies have shown that, similar to our ability to learn new languages, our ability to easily distinguish between the faces of people whose race is different from our own diminishes over time. These studies indicate that this capacity to differentiate, with very little effort, between the faces of people of another race is greatest before we reach the age of one and is nearly gone by the time we are twelve. After this developmental window is closed, more effort is required to recognize and remember the faces of other-race individuals. Your Family offers a chance to create the kind of exposure necessary in those early months to avoid what one study calls spontaneous visual preference and a recognition advantage for own-race faces" as adults. The book is also intended as an invitation for families to discuss and celebrate the diversity of the global human family to which we all belong"--
