The number of black-white mixed marriages increased by 504% in the
last 25 years. By offering relevant demographic, research, and
sociocultural data as well as a series of intensely personal and
revealing vignettes, Dr. Brown investigates how mixed race people
cope in a world that has shoehorned them into a racial category
that denies half of their physiological and psychological
existence. She also addresses their struggle for acceptance in the
black and white world and the racist abuses many of them have
suffered. Brown interweaves research findings with interviews of
children of black-white interracial unions to highlight certain
psychosocial phenomenon or experiences. She looks at the history of
interracial marriages in the United States and discusses the
scientific and social theories that underlie the racial bigotry
suffered by mixed people. Questions of racial identity, conflict,
and self-esteem are treated as are issues of mental health. An
important look at contemporary mixed race issues that will be of
particular interest to scholars, researchers, students, and
professionals dealing with race, family, and mental health
concerns.
