Yet racism is endemic to British society and people often think in terms of black and white. <strong>With a marked rise in the number of children from mixed parentage, there is an urgent need to challenge simplistic understandings of &#8216;race&#8217;, nation and culture, and interrogate what it means to grow up in Britain and claim a &#8216;mixed&#8217; identity.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Focusing on mixed-race and inter-ethnic families, this book not only explores current understandings of &#8216;race&#8217;, but it shows, using innovative research techniques with children, how we come to read race. What influence do photographs and television have on childrens ideas about &#8216;race&#8217;? \u00a0How do children use memories and stories to talk about racial differences within their own families?\u00a0 How important is the home and domestic culture in achieving a sense of belonging? Ali also considers, through data gathered from teachers and parents, broader issues relating to the effectiveness of anti-racist and multicultural teaching in schools, and parental concerns over the social mobility and social acceptability of their children.<\/p>\n<p>Rigorously researched, this book is the first to combine childrens accounts on &#8216;race&#8217; and identity with contemporary cultural theory. Using fascinating case studies, it fills a major gap in this area and provides an original approach to writing on race.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Focusing on mixed-race and inter-ethnic families, this book not only explores current understandings of &#8216;race&#8217;, but it shows, using innovative research techniques with children, how we come to read race.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,414,125,8,17,394,10],"tags":[805,457],"class_list":["post-2563","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","category-family","category-identitydevelopment","category-media-archive","category-monographs","category-socialscience","category-uk","tag-berg-publisher","tag-suki-ali"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2563","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=2563"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2563\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":53589,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2563\/revisions\/53589"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2563"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2563"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2563"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
