Scattered Belongings

When the American golfer Tiger Woods proclaimed himself a Caublinasian affirming his mixed Caucasian Black Native American and Asian ancestry a storm of controversy was created. This book is about people faced by the strain of belonging and not belonging within the narrow confines of the terms 'Black' or 'White'.This is a unique and radical study. It interweaves the stories of six women of mixed African/African Caribbean and white European heritage with an analysis of the concepts of hybridity and mixed race identity.
