Description:
Drawing on a wide range of sources and a diverse cast of characters, this book is the first to place the self-fashioning of mixed-race individuals in the context of a Black Atlantic and gives particular attention to the construction of mixed-race femininity and masculinity during the twentieth century.
Review Quotes:
'Daniel McNeil illuminates harrowing account and insidious perceptions of mixed-race that exist across Canada, America and Britain.'
'...fruitful in its exploration of how mixed-race has been and is perceived as a battlefield, without tip-toeing around sensitive issues.'
'This book will be of primary relevance to academics and students who require a refreshing critical alternative to the lingering racist perceptions of the mixing of races, as well as the multiculturalist normalisation and the "post-racial" consumption of mixed-race identity.'-Zaki Nahaboo, Runnymede Bulletin, Issue 365
