The Mixed + Multiracial Guide To Wellbeing
Informed by expertise from both sides of the therapist's couch, this book shows you how to handle microaggressions, confront systemic issues, and control your own story as a mixed + multiracial person. It explores ways to recognise how your identity has shaped your life, handle common challenges, and resist othering and erasure.
How to embrace your multiracial identity and challenge the expectations of a monoracial society.
"What aaaaarrrrrrrrrreeeeeee you?"
If you just had that familiar sinking feeling, this book is for you. Do you point out how alienating and othering that question is? Stand your ground and explain that you don't have to justify your existence with a pie chart and a family tree? Or keep the peace, bite your tongue and smile politely at yet another person treating you like a science project?
While each mixed person's experience is different, there are common threads from living in a monoracial world that weave their way into your life. This book explores ways for mixed and multiracial people to recognise how their identity has shaped their life, handle common challenges, and resist othering and erasure.
Informed by experience and expertise from both sides of the therapist's couch, The Mixed + Multiracial Guide To Wellbeing shows you how to handle microaggressions, confront systemic issues, and control your own story.
