The views and experiences of multiracial people as parents The
world's multiracial population is considered to be one of the
fastest growing of all ethnic groups. In the United States alone,
it is estimated that over 20% of the population will be considered
"mixed race" by 2050. Public figures-such as former President
Barack Obama and Hollywood actress Ruth Negga-further highlight the
highly diverse backgrounds of those classified under the umbrella
term of "multiracial." Multiracial Parents considers how mixed-race
parents identify with and draw from their cultural backgrounds in
raising and socializing their children. Miri Song presents a
groundbreaking examination of how the meanings and practices
surrounding multiracial identification are passed down through the
generations. A revealing portrait of how multiracial identity is
and is not transmitted to children, Multiracial Parents focuses on
couples comprised of one White and one non-white minority, who were
mostly "first generation mixed," situating her findings in a
trans-Atlantic framework. By drawing on detailed narratives about
the parents' children and family lives, this book explores what it
means to be multiracial, and whether multiracial identity and
status will matter for multiracial people's children. Many couples
suggested that their very existence (and their children's) is a
step toward breaking down boundaries about the meaning of race and
that the idea of a mixed-race population is increasingly becoming
normalized, despite existing concerns about racism and racial bias
within and beyond various communities. A critical perspective on
contemporary multiracial families, Multiracial Parents raises
fundamental questions about the future significance of racial
boundaries and identities.
