This study, based on ethnographic interviews, provides an historical overview of the study of Biracial Americans in the social sciences, a sociological profile of project participants, sociocultural discussions of family and race as well as racial identity choices, and examinations of racial realities in adult lives and of recurrent systemic and personal life themes. The textual part of the book demonstrates the diversity of perception and experience regarding race and identity of these biracial young adults. The Epilogue not only reviews major findings pertaining to this transitional generation of Biracial Americans but discusses biraciality and the deconstruction of race in contemporary American society. An extensive bibliography of popular and scholarly sources concludes the book.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Table of Contents:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Preface<br \/>\nBiracial American Experience in Post-Civil Rights Era<br \/>\nBiracial Americans<br \/>\nBiracial Americans and Their Families<br \/>\nBiracial American Identity Choices<br \/>\nRacial Realities in Adult Biracial American Lives<br \/>\nBiracial American Life Themes<br \/>\nBiracial American Voices<br \/>\nDevelopment of Racial Identities<br \/>\nChildhood Memories of Race<br \/>\nFamily Relationships Remembered<br \/>\nAssessments of Biracial American Experiences<br \/>\nEpilogue<br \/>\nBibliography<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Claiming Place: Biracial Young Adults of the Post-Civil Rights Era Praeger 2000-11-30 208 pages Trim Size: 6 1\/8 x 9 1\/4 Hardcover ISBN: 978-0-89789-760-0 Ebook ISBN: 978-0-313-06507-1 Marion Kilson, Dean of the Graduate School Salem State College, Massachusetts Born in the 1960s, the middle-class Biracial Americans of this study are part of a transitional cohort [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,414,125,8,17,394,20],"tags":[589,360,590],"class_list":["post-2230","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","category-family","category-identitydevelopment","category-media-archive","category-monographs","category-socialscience","category-usa","tag-greenwood-publishing-group","tag-marion-kilson","tag-praeger-publishers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2230","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=2230"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2230\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2230"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2230"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2230"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
