Collected in one volume are all of Paul Spickard\u2019s theoretical writings over the past two decades. Ten of the articles have been revised and updated from previous publications. Four appear here for the first time. Spickard\u2019s work embraces three overarching themes: race as biology versus race as something constructed by social and political relationships; race as a phenomenon that exists not just in the United States, but in every part of the world, and even in the relationships between nations; and the question of racial multiplicity.<\/p>\n<p>These essays analyze how race affects people\u2019s lives and relationships in all settings, from the United States to Great Britain and from Hawai\u02bbi to Chinese Central Asia. They contemplate the racial positions in various societies of people called Black and people called White, of Asians and Pacific Islanders, and especially of those people whose racial ancestries and identifications are multiple. Here for the first time are Spickard\u2019s trenchant analyses of the creation of race in the South Pacific, of DNA testing for racial ancestry, and of the meaning of multiplicity in the age of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Barack_Obama\" target=\"_blank\">Barack Obama<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Race in Mind&#8221; presents fourteen critical essays on race and mixed race by one of America\u2019s most prolific and influential ethnic studies scholars.
