Born to an African American father and Japanese mother, Frederick
D. Kakinami Cloyd, the narrator of Dream of the Water Children,
finds himself not only to be a marginalized person by virtue of his
heritage, but often a cultural drifter, as well. Indeed, both his
family and his society treat him as if he doesn't entirely belong
to any world. Tautly written in spare, clear poetic prose, this
memoir explores the specific contours of Japanese and African
American cultures, as well as the broader experience of biracial
and multicultural identity. To tell his story, Cloyd incorporates
photographs and Japanese writing, history, and memory to convey
both rich personal experience and significant historical detail.
Bringing together vivid memories with a perceptive cultural eye,
Dream of the Water Children brings readers closer to a biracial
experience, opening up our understanding of the cultural richness
and social challenges people from diverse backgrounds face.
