The old adage is that writers should write about what they know. In Mixed, this is precisely what they do. Multiracial authors draw upon their own experiences in identity negotiation as they construct their prose. Because multiracial people are united only by the fact that they not easily categorizeable, the stories in this collection are as divergent as the writers themselves. Yet when taken together, they reflect a singular spirit, one of nonconformity in a world where people continue to ask the question--"What are you?"--and then wait for a one word response.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Globally, the number of multiracial people is exploding. In 10 US states, the percentage of multiracial residents who are of school agebetween 5 and 17is at least 25 percent. In California alone, it is estimated that 15 percent of all births are multiracial or multiethnic. Despite these numbers, mixed-race people have long struggled for a distinct place on the identity map. It was only as recently as 2000 that the U.S. Census Bureau began to allow citizens to check off as many racial categories as are applicable-White, African American, Asian, Hispanic, Native Hawaiian, American Indian, and Alaska Native. Previously, Americans were allowed to check off only one, leaving multiracial people invisible and unaccounted for. Though multiracialism has recently become a popular aspect of many memoirs and novels, Mixed is the first of its kind: a fiction anthology with racial overlap as its compass. With original pieces by both established and emerging writers, Mixed explores the complexities of identity that come with being a multiracial person. Every story, crafted by authors who are themselves mixed-race, broaches multiracialism through character or theme. With contributors such as Cristina Garcia, Danzy Senna, Ruth Ozeki, Mat Johnson, Wayde Compton, Diana Abu-Jaber, Emily Raboteau, Mary Yukari Waters, and Peter Ho Davies, and an illuminating introduction by Rebecca Walker, Mixed gives narrative voice to the multiple identities of the rising generation. With a roster of acclaimed fiction writers, Mixed shatters expectations of what it means to be multiracial.
