Through compelling student and teacher narratives, best-selling author Bonnie M. Davis gives voice to a frequently mislabeled and misunderstood segment of the population. Filled with research-based instructional strategies and reflective questions, the book supports readers in examining:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The meaning of race, difference, and ethnicity<\/li>\n<li>How mixed-identity students develop racial identities<\/li>\n<li>How to adjust instruction to demonstrate cultural proficiency<\/li>\n<li>Complex questions to help deepen understanding of bi- and multiracial experiences, white privilege, and the history of race in the U.S.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This sensitively written yet practical guide fills a gap in the professional literature by examining the experiences of biracial\/multiracial students in the context of today&#8217;s classrooms. <strong>The author calls upon readers to take a transformational journey toward racial literacy and, ultimately, become empowered by a real understanding of what it means to be biracial or multiracial and enable all students to experience increased self-confidence and believe in their ability to succeed.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Contents<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Acknowledgments<\/li>\n<li>About the Author<\/li>\n<li>Prologue<\/li>\n<li>1.
