\"Jacket<\/a><\/p>\n

Whilst scholarship has increasingly moved to consider mixedness and the experiences of mixed-race people, there has been a notable lack of attention to the specific experiences of mixed-race men. This is despite growing recognition of the particular ways race and gender intersect. By centring the accounts of Black mixed-race men in the United Kingdom<\/a> and United States<\/a>, this book offers a timely intervention that extends the theoretical terrain of race and ethnicity scholarship and of studies of gender and masculinities.<\/p>\n

As it treads new and important ground, this book draws upon theories of performativity<\/a> and hybridity<\/a> in order to understand how Black mixed-race men constitute and reconstitute complex and multiplicitous identities. \u2018Post-racial\u2019 conditions mean that Black mixed-race men engage in such processes in a context where the significance of race and racism is rendered invisible and denied. By introducing the theoretical concept of \u2018post-racial\u2019 resilience, this study strives to capture and celebrate the contemporary, creative and innovative ways in which Black mixed-race men refuse the fragmentation and erasure of their identities. As it does so, the author offers a corrective to popular representations that have too readily pathologized Black mixed-race men.<\/p>\n

Focusing on the everyday through a discussion of Black mixed-race men\u2019s racial symbolism, experiences of racial microaggressions, and interactions with peers, Black Mixed-Race Men: Transatlanticity, Hybridity and Post-Racial Resilience<\/em> offers an in-depth insight into a previously neglected area of scholarship.<\/p>\n
