This book centers the experiences of Multiracial people, those
individuals claiming heritage and membership in two or more
(mono)racial groups and/or identifies with a Multiracial term.
These terms include the broader biracial, multiethnic, and mixed,
or more specific terms like Blasian and Mexipino. In addressing the
recurring experiences of inclusion, exclusion, affirmation, and
challenges that they encounter, the contributors identify the
multiple sites in higher education that affect personal perceptions
of self, belonging, rejection, and resilience; describe strategies
they utilized to support themselves or other Multiracial people at
their institutions; and to advocate for greater awareness of
Multiracial issues and a commitment to institutional change. In
covering an array of Multiracial experiences, the book brings
together a range of voices, social identities (including race),
ages, perspectives, and approaches. The chapter authors present a
multiplicity of views because, as the book exemplifies, multiracial
people are not a monolithic group, nor are their issues and needs
universal to all. The book opens by outlining the literature and
theoretical frameworks that provide context and foundations for the
chapters that follow. It then presents a range of first person
narratives - reflecting the experiences of students, faculty, and
staff - that highlight navigating to and through higher education
from diverse standpoints and positionalities. The final section
offers multiple strategies and applied methods that can be used to
enhance Multiracial inclusion through research, curriculum, and
practice. The editors conclude with recommendations for future
scholarship and practice. This book invites Multiracial readers,
their allies, and those people who interact with and influence the
daily lives of Multiracial people to explore issues of identity and
self-care, build coalitions on campus, and advocate for change. For
administrators, student affairs personnel, and anyone concerned
with diversity on campus, it opens a window on a growing population
with whom they may be unfamiliar, mis-categorize, or overlook, and
on the need to change systems and structures to address their full
inclusion and unveil their full impact.
