<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>With a roster of acclaimed authors, "Mixed" explodes expectations of what it means to be multiracial, becoming the first anthology to give voice to the multiple identities of the rising generation. Includes stories by Peter Ho Davies, Ruth Ozeki, Wayde Compton, and others.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Globally, the number of multiracial people is exploding. In 10 US states, the percentage of multiracial residents who are of school age--between 5 and 17--is 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.<br /><br /> Though multiracialism has recently become a popular aspect of many memoirs and novels, <em>Mixed</em> is the first of its kind: a fiction anthology with racial overlap as its compass. With original pieces by both established and emerging writers, <em>Mixed</em> 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, <em>Mixed</em> gives narrative voice to the multiple identities of the rising generation.
