This book weaves together two distinct and powerfully related
sources of knowledge: the author's journey and transition from a
once undocumented immigrant from Guatemala to a hyperdocumented
academic, and five years of on-going national research on the
identity, education, and agency of undocumented college students.
In interlacing both personal experiences with findings from her
empirical qualitative research, Chang explores practical and
theoretical pedagogical, curricular, and policy-related discussions
around issues that impact undocumented immigrants while provide
compelling rich narrative vignettes. Collectively, these findings
support the argument that undocumented students can cultivate an
empowering self-identity by performing the role of infallible
cultural citizen.
The Meaning of Multiraciality: A Racially Queer Exploration of
Multiracial College Students' Identity Production provides a
comprehensive overview of Multiraciality as a term, experience, and
identity using data from a study of Multiracial college students
and well as the author's own experiences as a Multiracial person.
Utilizing a racially queer framework, they discuss what it means to
be a Multiracial insider (being a Multiracial researcher studying
Multiracial study participants), the counter-stories of Multiracial
college students, the theorizing that has emerged as a result, and
the educational consequences and impacts on Mulitracial students
overall. The author explores the following questions: How do
Multiracial students produce their identities? How do Multiracial
students exercise their agency? How does the notion of
Multiraciality perpetuate and disrupt notions of race? How can we
expand theoretical understandings of race so that they take
Multiracial people into account, specifically within educational
settings? The author illustrates the agentic ways in which
Multiracial college students come to understand and experience the
complexity of their racialized identity production. Their
counter-narratives reveal an otherwise invisible student
population, providing an opportunity to broaden critical discourses
around education and race.
