Addressing a wide spectrum of questions raised by this rich new cultural landscape, Mixing It Up brings together the observations of ten noted voices who have experienced multiracialism first-hand. From Naomi Zack's "American Mixed Race: The United States 2000 Census and Related Issues" to Cathy Irwin and Sean Metzger's "Keeping Up Appearances: Ethnic Alien-Nation in Female Solo Performance," this diverse collection spans the realities of multiculturalism in compelling new analysis. Arguing that society's discomfort with multiracialism has been institutionalized throughout history, whether through the "one drop" rule or media depictions, SanSan Kwan and Kenneth Speirs reflect on the means by which the monoracial lens is slowly being replaced. Itself a hybrid of memoir, history, and sociological theory, Mixing It Up makes it clear why the identity politics of previous decades have little relevance to the fluid new face of contemporary humanity.Louann Atkins Temple women & culture series ;bk. 7.Racially mixed peopleRace identityUnited StatesRacially mixed peopleUnited StatesIntellectual lifeRacially mixed peopleUnited StatesBiographyCultural pluralismUnited StatesPerforming artsSocial aspectsUnited StatesRacially mixed people in literatureEthnicity in literaturePopular cultureUnited StatesUnited StatesRace relationsRacially mixed peopleRace identityRacially mixed peopleIntellectual life.Racially mixed peopleCultural pluralismPerforming artsSocial aspectsRacially mixed people in literature.Ethnicity in literature.Popular culture305.8/0092/273BKwan SanSan1524522Speirs Kenneth1524523MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777694803321Mixing it up3765411UNINA
