Patterns of migration and the forces of globalization have brought
the issues of mixed race to the public in far more visible, far
more dramatic ways than ever before. Global Mixed Race examines the
contemporary experiences of people of mixed descent in nations
around the world, moving beyond US borders to explore the dynamics
of racial mixing and multiple descent in Zambia, Trinidad and
Tobago, Mexico, Brazil, Kazakhstan, Germany, the United Kingdom,
Canada, Okinawa, Australia, and New Zealand. In particular, the
volume's editors ask: how have new global flows of ideas, goods,
and people affected the lives and social placements of people of
mixed descent? Thirteen original chapters address the ways
mixed-race individuals defy, bolster, speak, and live racial
categorization, paying attention to the ways that these experiences
help us think through how we see and engage with social
differences. The contributors also highlight how mixed-race people
can sometimes be used as emblems of multiculturalism, and how these
identities are commodified within global capitalism while still
considered by some as not pure or inauthentic. A strikingly
original study, Global Mixed Race carefully and comprehensively
considers the many different meanings of racial mixedness.
