The Multiracial Experience: Racial Borders as the New Frontier

by Maria P.P. Root (Editor)

How might a multiracial concept dismantle our negative construction of race? How do we redefine `ethnicity′ when `race′ is less central to the definition? The Multiracial Experience challenges current theoretical and political conceptualizations of race using the multiracial experience of individuals as a tool for examining these and other questions. Each contribution opens with a personal sketch of the multiracial experience. Topics explored in the book the differences between race and ethnicity; colour, gender and sexuality in a multiracial context; and ethnicity and its role in identity formation.
