Drawing on a small-scale, in-depth comparison of fathers\u2019 accounts in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_Kingdom\" target=\"_blank\">Britain<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/New_Zealand\" target=\"_blank\">New Zealand<\/a>, and using the analytic concept of racial projects, fathers\u2019 activities towards and hopes for their children\u2019s identity and affiliation are revealed as keyed into historically situated social and political forces. Particular national racial projects and histories of coloniser and colonised are (re)created and reflected in the various typifications (ideal orientations) informing the fathers\u2019 racial projects. These might be concerned with mixed, single or transcendent senses of belonging, in individual or collective ways, each of which was in various forms of dialogue with race.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/1070289X.2015.1091320\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Partnered fathers bringing up their mixed-\/multi-race children: an exploratory comparison of racial projects in Britain and New Zealand Identities: Global Studies in Culture and Power Published online: 2015-09-23 DOI: 10.1080\/1070289X.2015.1091320 Rosalind Edwards, Professor of Sociology; Social Sciences Director of Research and Enterprise; Co-director, ESRC National Centre for Research Methods University of Southampton, Southampton, United Kingdom [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,414,8,4405,23674,10],"tags":[13166,1000,683],"class_list":["post-50980","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","category-family","category-media-archive","category-oceania","category-social-justice","category-uk","tag-identities-global-studies-in-culture-and-power","tag-new-zealand","tag-rosalind-edwards"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50980","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=50980"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50980\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50981,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50980\/revisions\/50981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=50980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=50980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=50980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
