We are the poster children of globalisation. In Asia, and increasingly in the West, mixed-race Eurasian models charm us with their cosmopolitan chic. Terms previously used to demarcate impure outsiders such as Eurasian mixed-race, hybridity, mestiza, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mixedracestudies.org\/?p=329\" target=\"_blank\">hapa<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hafu\" target=\"_blank\">haafu<\/a>, Euro-Asian and Anglo-Asian have recently been given an affirmative spin. This essay argues that the appeal, allure and persuasions of Eurasian\/mixed-race are as much an effect of its commodified production as a cosmopolitan figure with automatic racial, cultural and national border crossing attributes, as its capacity and potential to claim for itself a location and space of visibility. Framed as a performative, the visual aesthetics and cosmopolitan attributes of Eurasian\/mixed-race are explored in relation to postcolonial practices of racialisation and sexualisation under globalisation. Factors evoked in the constitution of Eurasian\/mixed race delimit rather than preclude its promise of an expansive transnational\/transcultural cosmopolitan future.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.informaworld.com\/smpp\/ftinterface~content=a770373857~fulltext=713240930~frm=content\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eurasian Persuasions: Mixed Race, Performativity and Cosmopolitanism Journal of Intercultural Studies Volume 28, Issue 1 (February 2007) pages 41-54 DOI: 10.1080\/07256860601082921 Julie Matthews,\u00a0Associate Professor School of Education University of Adelaide, South Australia, Australia Eurasians are &#8216;in&#8217;.
