The year 2000 was the first time the US Census<\/a> permitted respondents to choose more than one race. Although the US<\/a> has long recognized that a \u201cmixed-race\u201d population exists, the contemporary \u201cmultiracial population\u201d presents different questions and implications for today\u2019s diverse society.<\/p>\n

This book is the first overview to bring a systematic critical race lens to the scholarship on mixedness. Avoiding the common pitfall of conflating \u201cmixed\u201d with \u201cmultiracial,\u201d the book reveals how identity forms and fluctuates such that people with mixed heritage may identify as mixed, monoracial, and\/or multiracial throughout their lives. It analyzes the dynamic and various manifestations of mixedness, including at the global level, to reveal its complex impact on both the structural and individual levels. Multiracial<\/i> critically examines topics such as family dynamics and racial socialization, multiraciality in media and popular culture, and intersections of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation.<\/p>\n

Integrating diverse theories, qualitative research, and national-level data, this accessible and engaging book is essential for students of race and those looking to understand the new field of multiraciality.<\/p>\n
