Drawing on sixty in-depth interviews with Black\/White biracial Americans, this paper shifts the theoretical focus from identity and well-being to the conceptual development of how race shapes bi\/multiracial Americans\u2019 social interactions with both Whites and Blacks. The majority of participants reported interacting differently when in predominately White settings versus predominately Black settings. I offer the concept of \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mixedracestudies.org\/?p=22403\" target=\"_blank\">racial capital<\/a>\u201d to highlight the repertoire of racial resources (knowledge, experiences, meaning, and language) that biracial Americans use to negotiate racial boundaries in a highly racialized society. These findings reveal the continuing significance of racial boundaries in a population that is often celebrated as evidence of racial harmony in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/journals\/du-bois-review-social-science-research-on-race\/article\/div-classtitleits-like-we-have-an-in-alreadydiv\/3BE02E0DAECD039E1FFB08644A1A0E5C\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIT\u2019S LIKE WE HAVE AN \u2018IN\u2019 ALREADY\u201d: The Racial Capital of Black\/White Biracial Americans Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on\u00a0Race Published online: 2016-12-19 DOI: 10.1017\/S1742058X16000357 Chandra D.
