Mixed race studies is one of the fastest growing as well as one of
the most important and controversial areas in the field of race and
ethnicity. Bringing together pioneering and controversial
scholarship from the social and biological sciences, as well as the
humanities, this book charts the evolution of debates on race and
mixed race from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century. This
collection adds a new dimension to the growing body of literature
on the topic and provides a comprehensive history of the origins
and directions of mixed race research as an intellectual movement.
It is divided into three main sections:
* tracing the origins: miscegenation, moral degeneracy and
genetics
* mapping contemporary and foundational discourses: mixed race,
identities politics and celebration
* debating definitions: census categories and critiques.
Each section begins with a brief editorial guide to the readings
and includes revision probes for each reading as well as
suggestions for further reading. "Mixed Race Studies: A Reader" is
an invaluable resource for examining the complexities and paradoxes
of racial thinking across space, time, and disciplines.
