Race and ethnicity in psychologyDescription
This compelling exploration examines what it means to live with biracial or triracial identity in the United States, tracing the historical, social, and psychological forces that shape multiracial experience. Through cultural analysis, personal accounts, and contemporary examples, it illuminates the challenges of recognition, belonging, racism, and colorism, as well as the possibilities of self-definition and pride. The book considers how changing demographics, public institutions, and evolving ideas about race are reshaping American society while highlighting the voices of people whose identities resist rigid racial categories. It also offers readers practical guidance for exploring their own family histories and racial roots.
