Over the past decade, there have been numerous books and articles written on interracial issues. Despite the rampant growth in publishing, locating these often-scattered and inaccessible materials remains a challenge. This resource guide provides easy access to the available literature. Topical chapters on the most often researched themes are included, such as core historical literature, books for children and young adults, hot-button issues (passing, identification, appearance, fitting in, and blood quantification), interracial dating and marriage, families, adoption, and issues pertaining to race and queer sexuality. Each chapter includes a brief discussion of the literature on the topic, including historical context and comments on the breadth and depth of the available literature, and followed by annotations of books, popular and scholarly journals, magazines, and newspaper articles, videos\/films, and websites. Other useful sections include a chapter on the depiction of interracial relationships in film, teaching an interracial issues course, and how to search for materials given changing terminology and classification issues. Indexes by race and non-print media are included.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Table of contents<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Acknowledgments<\/li>\n<li>Introduction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li><em>Accessing the Literature<\/em> by <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www-personal.umich.edu\/~kdown\/karen.html\" target=\"_blank\">Karen Downing<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><em>Teaching an Interracial Issues Course<\/em> by <a href=\"http:\/\/sitemaker.umich.edu\/dschoem\/bio\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>David Schoem<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><em>Hot Button Issues<\/em> by <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www-personal.umich.edu\/~kdown\/karen.html\" target=\"_blank\">Karen Downing<\/a><\/strong> and <strong>Kelly Webster<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><em>Core Historical Literature<\/em> by <strong>Chuck Ransom<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><em>The Politics of Being Interracial<\/em> by <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www-personal.umich.edu\/~kdown\/karen.html\" target=\"_blank\">Karen Downing<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><em>Interracial Dating and Marriage<\/em> by <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.columbia.edu\/cu\/lweb\/news\/spotlight\/2007\/2007-03-27.alysse_jordan.html\" target=\"_blank\">Alysse Jordan<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><em>Interracial Families<\/em> by <strong>Renoir Gaither<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><em>Transracial Adoption<\/em> by <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/guides.lib.umich.edu\/profile.php?uid=5858\" target=\"_blank\">Darlene Nichols<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><em>Books for Children and Young Adults<\/em> by <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/guides.lib.umich.edu\/profile.php?uid=5858\" target=\"_blank\">Darlene Nichols<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><em>Multiracial Identity Development<\/em> by <strong>Kelly Webster<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><em>The Intersection of Race and Queer Sexuality<\/em> by <strong>Joseph Diaz<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><em>Representations of Interracial Relationships and Multiracial Identity on the American Screen<\/em> by <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lib.umich.edu\/users\/hlook\" target=\"_blank\">Helen Look<\/a><\/strong> and <strong>Martin Knott<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li>Appendix I. <em>Subject Heading\/Descriptor Vocabularly to Assist in Searching<\/em> by <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www-personal.umich.edu\/~kdown\/karen.html\" target=\"_blank\">Karen Downing<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Appendix II.<em> Definitions of Terms Used in Interracial Literature<\/em> by <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www-personal.umich.edu\/~kdown\/karen.html\" target=\"_blank\">Karen Downing<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Appendix III. <em>Sociology 412 &#8212; Ethnic Identity and Intergroup Relations Syllabus<\/em> by <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/sitemaker.umich.edu\/dschoem\/bio\" target=\"_blank\">David Schoem<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Appendix IV. <em>OMB Directive 15<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Appendix V. <em>Resources by Race<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Index<\/li>\n<li>About the Contributors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Multiracial America: A Resource Guide on the History and Literature of Interracial Issues The Scarecrow Press, Inc.
