This book is indispensable for the contemporary moment. - Marquis Bey, Assistant Professor of African American Studies and English, Northwestern University McKibbin is a courageous thinker. She takes on a fraught topic about which advocates and opponents are screaming past each other, and deals with it carefully, calmly, methodically. - Paul Spickard, Distinguished Professor of History, Black Studies, and Asian American Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara Stimulating and provocative. This is an important work that deserves attention. - Joseph L. Graves Jr, author of The Emperor?s New Clothes (2001); The Race Myth (2005); Racism, Not Race (2021, co-author) Race remains a site for struggle and liberation as this book so clearly demonstrates. - Rinaldo Walcott, author of The Long Emancipation: Moving toward Black Freedom Using real-life examples, this book asks readers to reflect on how we?as an academic community?think and talk about race and racial identity in twenty-first-century America. One of these examples, Rachel Dole?al, provides a springboard for an examination of the state of our discourse around changeable racial identity and the potential for ?transracialism?. An analysis of how we are theorizing transracial identity (as opposed to an argument for/against it), this study detects some omissions and problems that are becoming evident as we establish transracial theory and suggests ways to further develop our thinking and avoid missteps. Intended for academics and thinkers familiar with conversations about identity and/or race, Rethinking Rachel Dole?al and Transracial Theory helps shape the theorization of ?transracialism? in its formative stages. Molly Littlewood McKibbin, PhD, specializes in Black Literatures and Critical Race Theory. She is the author of Shades of Gray: Writing the New American Multiracialism and work published in African American Review, Callaloo, the Journal of Black Studies, and the Journal of Critical Mixed Race Studies. 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aEthnology$zAmerica 606 $aCulture 606 $aAfrican Americans 606 $aRace 606 $aAmerican Culture 606 $aAfrican American Culture 606 $aRace and Ethnicity Studies 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aAfrican Americans. 615 0$aRace. 615 14$aAmerican Culture. 615 24$aAfrican American Culture. 615 24$aRace and Ethnicity Studies. 676 $a305.8 676 $a305.80973 700 $aMcKibbin$b Molly Littlewood$01066888 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910510559503321 996 $aRethinking Rachel Dole?al and Transracial Theory$92550161 997 $aUNINA
