In 2010 approximately 15 percent of all new marriages in the United
States were between spouses of different racial, ethnic, or
religious backgrounds, raising increasingly relevant questions
regarding the multicultural identities of new spouses and their
offspring. But while new census categories and a growing body of
statistics provide data, they tell us little about the inner
workings of day-to-day life for such couples and their children.
JewAsian is a qualitative examination of the intersection of race,
religion, and ethnicity in the increasing number of households that
are Jewish American and Asian American. Helen Kiyong Kim and Noah
Samuel Leavitt's book explores the larger social dimensions of
intermarriages to explain how these particular unions reflect not
only the identity of married individuals but also the communities
to which they belong. Using in-depth interviews with couples and
the children of Jewish American and Asian American marriages, Kim
and Leavitt's research sheds much-needed light on the everyday
lives of these partnerships and how their children negotiate their
own identities in the twenty-first century.
