The son of a Mexican American mother and an Anglo father, Kevin Johnson has spent his life in the borderlands between racial identities. In this insightful book, he uses his experiences as a mixed Latino-Anglo to examine issues of diversity, assimilation, race relations, and affirmative action in contemporary America. 606 $aJohnson, Kevin R 606 $aMexican Americans -- Biography 606 $aMexican Americans -- Ethnic identity 606 $aRace awareness 606 $aRacially mixed people 606 $aRacially mixed people -- United States -- Biography 606 $aRacially mixed people -- United States -- Race identity 606 $aUnited States 606 $aUnited States -- Race relations 606 $aMexican Americans$xEthnic identity$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aMexican Americans$xRace identity$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aRacially mixed people 606 $aGender & Ethnic Studies$2HILCC 606 $aSocial Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aEthnic & Race Studies$2HILCC 615 4$aJohnson, Kevin R. 615 4$aMexican Americans -- Biography. 615 4$aMexican Americans -- Ethnic identity. 615 4$aRace awareness. 615 4$aRacially mixed people. 615 4$aRacially mixed people -- United States -- Biography. 615 4$aRacially mixed people -- United States -- Race identity. 615 4$aUnited States. 615 4$aUnited States -- Race relations. 615 0$aMexican Americans$xEthnic identity 615 0$aMexican Americans$xRace identity 615 0$aRacially mixed people 615 7$aGender & Ethnic Studies 615 7$aSocial Sciences 615 7$aEthnic & Race Studies 676 $a305.868/72073/092 676 $a305.86872092 700 $aJohnson$b Kevin$01478562 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785067303321 996 $aHow Did You Get To Be Mexican$93694261 997 $aUNINA
