To do this, the article draws upon interviews with  the members of interracial families from <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Leicester\" target=\"_blank\">Leicester<\/a>, a city situated in  the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/East_Midlands\" target=\"_blank\">East Midlands<\/a> region of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/England\" target=\"_blank\">England<\/a>. The article focuses upon the  genealogical narratives of the female members of interracial families  who live in an ethnically diverse inner-city area of Leicester.  Attention is paid to the ways in which the women mobilise and intersect  ideas about kinship, ancestry, descent, belonging, place, biology and  culture when they think about the inheritance of their own and\/or their  children&#8217;s interracial identities. The article&#8217;s emphasis upon the  constitution of interracial identities contributes to the sociological  study of race and genealogy by exploring the racialised fragmentation of  ideas of inheritance and descent across racial categories and  generations.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1467-954X.2005.00562.x\/pdf\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The genealogical imagination: the inheritance of interracial identities The Sociological Review Volume 53, Issue 3 (August 2005) pages 476\u2013494 DOI: 10.1111\/j.1467-954X.2005.00562.x Katharine Tyler, Lecturer in Race and Ethnicity Department of Sociology University of Surrey The aim of this article is to examine ethnographically how ideas of descent, biology and culture mediate ideas about the inheritance [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,414,8,394,10,25],"tags":[801,4799,3612],"class_list":["post-11027","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","category-family","category-media-archive","category-socialscience","category-uk","category-women","tag-katharine-tyler","tag-leicester","tag-the-sociological-review"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11027","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11027"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11027\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11027"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11027"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11027"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
