ISBN: 9780754678601.<\/p>\n<p><em>Multifaceted Identity of Interethnic Young People: Chameleon Identities<\/em> is a study of identity choices among South Asian\/white individuals in the United Kingdom. The term \u201cSouth Asian\u201d refers here to peoples with ancestry from the Indian subcontinent, including India, Bangladesh and Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p>Sultana Choudhry situates her study primarily in the social psychology literature and in the growing body of social science literature on mixed race or, to use the author\u2019s preferred term, \u201cinterethnic\u201d people in the Anglophone world. In focusing on South Asian\/white interethnics, the author begins to fill a gap in both literatures. She rightly points out that there is a relative dearth of research on South Asian\/white interethnics in Britain, despite the fact that they comprise a substantial proportion of interethnics in a society in which interethnic births are on the rise.<\/p>\n<p>This is a multi-method study, incorporating semi-structured interviews, discourse analysis, retrospective diary accounts of factors that influenced respondents\u2019 ethnic identity choices and a survey of 87 interethnics of a variety of ethnoracial combinations. While the majority of respondents were interethnic, some phases of the study include monoethnic respondents, including some parents of the interethnic respondents.<\/p>\n<p>While I applaud this use&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Purchase or purchase the review <a href=\"http:\/\/csx.sagepub.com\/content\/40\/5\/571.full.pdf+html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Multifaceted Identity of Interethnic Young People: Chameleon Identities [Review: DaCosta] Contemporary Sociology: A Journal of Reviews Volume 40, Number 5 (September 2011) pages 571-572 DOI: 10.1177\/0094306111419111i Kimberly McClain DaCosta, Associate Professor Gallatin School of Individualized Study, New York University Multifaceted Identity of Interethnic Young People: Chameleon Identities, by Sultana Choudhry.
