In these analyses, the authors demonstrate the utility of distinguishing not only between white\u2014biracial and nonwhite\u2014biracial families and but also between even more refined measures of biracial families (e.g., white father\/Asian mother). <strong>The authors find that, in most cases, biracial families provide comparable or greater economic and cultural resources to their children than do their monoracial counterparts, but offer fewer advantages in interactional\/social resources.<\/strong> This overall pattern remains even after sociodemographic factors are taken into consideration. Exceptions to this pattern also are identified and explored. Implications for our understanding of racial stratification, interracial relations, and the role of both human agency and constraints on intergenerational transmission of resources are discussed.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.journals.uchicago.edu\/doi\/pdf\/10.1086\/508793\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Under and Beyond Constraints: Resource Allocation to Young Children from Biracial Families American Journal of Sociology Volume 112, Number 4 (January 2007) pages 1044\u20131094 ISSN: 0002-9602\/2007\/11204-0003 DOI: 10.1086\/508793 Simon Cheng, Associate Professor of Sociology University of Connecticut Brian Powell, Rudy Professor of Sociology Indiana University Using data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,414,8,394,20],"tags":[440,2553,2303,233],"class_list":["post-6170","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","category-family","category-media-archive","category-socialscience","category-usa","tag-american-journal-of-sociology","tag-brian-powell","tag-early-childhood-longitudinal-study","tag-simon-cheng"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6170","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=6170"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6170\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6170"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6170"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6170"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
