Mixed presents engaging and incisive first-person experiences of
what it is like to be multiracial in what is supposedly a
postracial world. Bringing together twelve essays by college
students who identify themselves as multiracial, this book
considers what this identity means in a reality that occasionally
resembles the post-racial dream of some and at other times recalls
a familiar world of racial and ethnic prejudice.
Exploring a wide range of concerns and anxieties, aspirations
and ambitions, these young writers, who all attended Dartmouth
College, come from a variety of racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic
backgrounds. Unlike individuals who define themselves as having one
racial identity, these students have lived the complexity of their
identity from a very young age. In Mixed, a book that will benefit
educators, students, and their families, they eloquently and often
passionately reveal how they experience their multiracial identity,
how their parents' race or ethnicity shaped their childhoods, and
how perceptions of their race have affected their
relationships.
