But to what extent can we say that there is \u2018a\u2019 mixed race group in Britain today? If such a group exists, what commonalities underlie the experience of being mixed?

I find that the meanings and significance of race and mixedness in these young people\u2019s lives can vary considerably both across and within specific mixed groups. In conclusion, I argue that while there is evidence of a growing consciousness and interest in being mixed, we cannot (yet) speak of a coherent mixed group or experience in Britain.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/csp.sagepub.com\/content\/30\/3\/337.full.pdf+html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is there \u2018a\u2019 mixed race group in Britain?
