Now, more than ever, mixed race Americans are calling themselves biracial and multiracial rather than feeling forced to choose only one race. Nearly seven million people checked more than one racial category in the 2000 US census, the first time in history Americans had the option to mark more than one box. With <em>Fade<\/em>, Lewis offers a comprehensive look at the multiracial state of the union. Here he speaks with dozens of individuals, tackling hot button issues such as the often complicated lives of multiracial people in communities of color, interracial dating, transracial adoption, and the birth of the multiracial movement. The author also shares his own moving \u2014 and often humorous \u2014 firsthand experiences with race, along with intimate stories from those at the forefront of nationwide efforts to formally recognize the multiracial population.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fade: My Journeys in Multiracial America Basic Books an imprint of The Perseus Books Group 2006-12-28 302 pages ISBN: 9780786718825 ISBN-10: 078671882X Elliott Lewis Television journalist Elliott Lewis weaves his memoirs as a black-and-white biracial American with the voices of dozens of multiracial people who are challenging how we think and speak about race today.
