Many of the multiracial family organizations that exist across the United States developed socially, ideologically, and politically during the conservative Reagan years. While members of the Multiracial Movement differ widely in their political views, the concept of multiracialism has been taken up by conservative politicians in ways that are often inimical to the interests of traditionally defined minorities.Contributors look at the Multiracial Movement's voice and at the political controversies that attend the notion of multiracialism in academic and popular literature, internet discourse, census debates, and discourse by and about pop culture celebrities. The work discusses how multiracialism, hybridity, and racial mixing have occurred amidst existing academic discussions of authenticity, community borders, identity politics, the social construction of race, and postmodern fragmentation. How the Multiracial Movement is shaping and transforming collective multiracial identities is also explored.Multiracial peopleRace identityUnited StatesRace awarenessUnited StatesEthnicityUnited StatesRacismUnited StatesMultiracial peopleUnited StatesSocial conditionsSocial movementsUnited StatesUnited StatesRace relationsMultiracial peopleRace identityRace awarenessEthnicityRacismMultiracial peopleSocial conditions.Social movements305.8/05073Dalmage Heather M.1965-1804499MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910966733003321The politics of multiracialism4352566UNINA
