This question, about the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Epistemology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">epistemology<\/a> of belonging, carries a particular complexity for mixed-race women. How is it that mixed-race women create a sense of identification with others? What are the unities and disjunctures? What can we understand about epistemologies of belonging through examining how mixed-race women create belonging? Through qualitative work based on the life stories of women of mixed heritage, in this paper I examine how the navigation of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mixedracestudies.org\/?p=686\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hybridity<\/a>, as it is experienced in the lives of six &#8220;hybrid&#8221; mixed-race women, illuminates the complexities of identity construction and epistemologies of belonging. I use the term epistemology to signify the nature of knowledge, how we come to know things, in this case knowledge, or knowing, related to belonging.
