Black White or Mixed Race?

<p>The number of people in racially mixed relationships has grown steadily over the last thirty years yet these people often feel stigmatised and unhappy about their identities.<br> The first edition of <em>Black White or Mixed Race?</em> was a ground-breaking study: this revised edition uses new literature to consider what is now known about racialised identities and changes in the official use of 'mixed' categories. All new developments are placed in a historical framework and in the context of up-to-date literature on mixed parentage in Britain and the USA.<br> Based on research with young people from a range of social backgrounds the book examines their attitudes to black and white people; their identity; their cultural origins; their friendships; their experiences of racism. This was the first study to concentrate on adolescents of black and white parentage and it continues to provide unique insights into their identities. It is a valuable resource for all those concerned with social work and policy.</p>
