Summary

Multiracial explores the complexities of multiracial identity in contemporary society, beginning with the landmark 2000 US Census allowing respondents to select multiple races. It distinguishes between 'mixed' and 'multiracial' identities, highlighting how people with mixed heritage may identify differently over their lifetimes. The book examines dynamic manifestations of mixedness globally, addressing its effects on both individual experiences and structural systems. Topics include family dynamics, racial socialisation, media representation, and intersections with gender, class, and sexual orientation. Combining diverse theories, qualitative research, and national data, it offers an accessible, critical race perspective on this evolving field.

Ideal for students and scholars of race, ethnicity, and social sciences, as well as readers seeking a critical and comprehensive understanding of multiracial identity and its societal implications.

Description

The year 2000 was the first time the US Census permitted respondents to choose more than one race. Although the US has long recognized that a "mixed-race" population exists, the contemporary "multiracial population" presents different questions and implications for today’s diverse society.

This book is the first overview to bring a systematic critical race lens to the scholarship on mixedness. Avoiding the common pitfall of conflating "mixed" with "multiracial," the book reveals how identity forms and fluctuates such that people with mixed heritage may identify as mixed, monoracial, and/or multiracial throughout their lives. It analyzes the dynamic and various manifestations of mixedness, including at the global level, to reveal its complex impact on both the structural and individual levels. Multiracial critically examines topics such as family dynamics and racial socialization, multiraciality in media and popular culture, and intersections of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation.

Integrating diverse theories, qualitative research, and national-level data, this accessible and engaging book is essential for students of race and those looking to understand the new field of multiraciality.
