Narratives of mixed-race people bringing claims of racial
discrimination in court, illuminating traditional understandings of
civil rights law As the mixed-race population in the United States
grows, public fascination with multiracial identity has promoted
the belief that racial mixture will destroy racism. However,
multiracial people still face discrimination. Many legal scholars
hold that this is distinct from the discrimination faced by people
of other races, and traditional civil rights laws built on a strict
black/white binary need to be reformed to account for cases of
discrimination against those identifying as mixed-race. In
Multiracials and Civil Rights, Tanya Kateri Hernandez debunks this
idea, and draws on a plethora of court cases to demonstrate that
multiracials face the same types of discrimination as other racial
groups. Hernandez argues that multiracial people are primarily
targeted for discrimination due to their non-whiteness, and shows
how the cases highlight the need to support the existing legal
structures instead of a new understanding of civil rights law. The
legal and political analysis is enriched with Hernandez's own
personal narrative as a mixed-race Afro-Latina. Coming at a time
when explicit racism is resurfacing, Hernandez's look at
multiracial discrimination cases is essential for fortifying the
focus of civil rights law on racial privilege and the lingering
legacy of bias against non-whites, and has much to teach us about
how to move towards a more egalitarian society.
