This interdisciplinary volume surveys the diverse experiences of
biracial families, both across and outside the black/white binary.
The book examines the deep-rooted social contexts that inform the
lifespan of interracial families, from dating and marriage through
the stages of parenthood, as well as families' unique responses and
realities. Through a variety of structures and settings including
blended and adoptive families, contributors describe families'
strengths and resilience in meeting multiple personal and larger
social challenges. The intricacies of parenting and family
development are also revealed as an ongoing learning process as
parents and children construct identity, culture, and meaning.
Among the topics covered: Social constitutionality of race in
America: some meanings for biracial/multiracial families.
Interracial marriages: historical and contemporary trends. Racial
socialization: a developmental perspective. Biracial families
formed through adoption. Diverse family structures within biracial
families. Racial identity: choices, context, and consequences.
Addressing lingering gaps in the existing literature and
highlighting areas for future study, Biracial Families gives
readers a fuller understanding of a growing and diversifying
population. Its depth and breadth of coverage makes the book an
invaluable reference not only for practitioners and researchers,
but also for educators and interracial families across the
spectrum.
