Through the case study method, the authors describe the course and progression of racial identity development (RID) in these 2 individuals and discuss some key themes in their lives that have contributed to the development of their RID. The purposes are fourfold: to describe, nonclinical subjective experiences of being biracial in the US, to explore the differences in the paths that 2 biracial individuals can take to achieve what looks superficially like similar Black racial identity resolution, to demonstrate how identifying as Black can have different meanings and consequences for 2 biracial people, and to contribute to the differentiation of Black RID from biracial Black\/White RID. The authors raise questions about the generalizability of monoracial Black and ethnic identity theories to biracial individuals.<\/p>\n<p>Read the entire article <a href=\"http:\/\/isites.harvard.edu\/fs\/docs\/icb.topic548403.files\/Black%20Identity%20in%20Biracial%20Black%20adn%20White%20People.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Black identity in biracial Black\/White people: A comparison of Jacqueline who refuses to be exclusively Black and Adolphus who wishes he were.
