How does it feel when your heritage isn't listed as an option on an
identification form? What is it like to grow up as the only person
in your family who looks like you? Where do you belong if you are
simultaneously seen as being 'too much' of one race and 'not
enough' of another to fit neatly into society's expectations? 'A
rare find' - Loyle Carner The mixed population is the
fastest-growing group in the U.K. today, but the mainstream
conversation around mixedness is stilted, repetitive and often
problematic. At a time when ethnically ambiguous models fill our
Instagram feeds and our high street shop windows, and when children
of interracial relationships are lauded as heralding in the dawn of
a post-racial utopia, journalist Natalie Morris takes a deep dive
into what it really means to be mixed in Britain today. From
blackfishing to the fetishisation of mixed babies; from the
complexities of passing and code-switching to navigating the world
of work and dating, Natalie explores the ways in which all of these
issues uniquely impact those of mixed heritage. Drawing from a
wealth of research, interviews and her own personal experiences, in
Mixed/Other, Natalie's aims to dismantle the stereotypes that have
plagued mixed people for generations and to amplify the voices of
mixed Britons today, shining a light on the struggles and the joys
that come with being mixed.
