The main argument of the book is that in order to do this parents must analyse their own understanding of racial issues, and seek to expand their knowledge and awareness in this area so they can adequately support their offspring. Considering the content of the book, the mention of \u2018a post-racial world\u2019 in its title can only be taken as tongue-in-cheek since the writer argues throughout the text that the world is anything but this and sets about exposing how white racism continues to be pernicious and pervasive, simply mutating over time rather than weakening in power.<\/p>\n<p>The book is split into an introduction followed by 8 chapters and is based on an interview study conducted by the author with multiracial Asian parents. The study explored multiracial Asian parents\u2019 approaches to parenting in conjunction with their attitudes regarding race. Chang, who is an activist, writer and scholar, is multiracial Asian herself, as is her husband. The study highlighted parents often neglect appropriate conversations around race with their children and thus do not support them in developing good self-esteem and coping skills when it comes to dealing with racism&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Read the entire review <a href=\"https:\/\/mixedracefeministblog.wordpress.com\/2016\/03\/18\/book-review-raising-mixed-race-multiracial-asian-children-in-a-post-racial-world\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book Review \u2013 Raising Mixed Race: Multiracial Asian Children in a Post-Racial World Mixed Race Feminist Blog 2016-03-18 Nicola Codner Leeds, Yorkshire, United Kingdom Raising Mixed Race: Multiracial Asian Children in a Post-Racial World, Sharon H.
