As we approach the twenty-first century, biracialism and biculturalism are becoming increasingly common.\u00a0 Skin color and place of birth are no longer reliable signifiers of one’s identity or origin.\u00a0 Simple questions like What are you? and Where are you from? aren’t answered\u2014they are discussed.\u00a0 These eighteen essays, joined by a shared sense of duality, address the difficulties of not fitting into and the benefits of being part of two worlds.\u00a0 Through the lens of personal experience, they offer a broader spectrum of meaning for race and culture.\u00a0 And in the process, they map a new ethnic terrain that transcends racial and cultural division.<\/p>\n
