Social scientists claim that we now live in a 'post-race' society,
where 'race' has been replaced by 'ethnicity'. Yet racism is
endemic to British society and people often think in terms of
'black' and 'white'. With a marked rise in the number of children
from mixed parentage, there is an urgent need to challenge
simplistic understandings of 'race', nation and culture, and
interrogate what it means to grow up in Britain and claim a 'mixed'
identity.Focusing on mixed-race and inter-ethnic families, this
book not only explores current understandings of 'race', but it
shows, using innovative research techniques with children, how we
come to 'read' race. What influence do photographs and television
have on children's ideas about 'race'? How do children use memories
and stories to talk about racial differences within their own
families? How important is the home and domestic culture in
achieving a sense of belonging? Ali also considers, through data
gathered from teachers and parents, broader issues relating to the
effectiveness of anti-racist and multicultural teaching in schools,
and parental concerns over the social mobility and social
acceptability of their children.Rigorously researched, this book is
the first to combine children's accounts on 'race' and identity
with contemporary cultural theory. Using fascinating case studies,
it fills a major gap in this area and provides an original approach
to writing on race.
