{"product_id":"making-mixed-race","title":"Making Mixed Race","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy examining Black mixed-race identities in the city through a series of historical vantage points, \u003ci\u003eMaking Mixed Race\u003c\/i\u003e provides in-depth insights into the geographical and historical contexts that shape the possibilities and constraints for identifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhilst popular representations of mixed-race often conceptualise it as a contemporary phenomenon and are couched in discourses of futurity, this book dislodges it from the current moment to explore its emergence as a racialised category, and personal identity, over time. In addition to tracing the temporality of mixed-race, the contributions show the utility of place as an analytical tool for mixed-race studies. The conceptual framework for the book – place, time, and personal identity – offers a timely intervention to the scholarship that encourages us to look outside of individual subjectivities and critically examine the structural contexts that shape Black mixed-race lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book centres around the life histories of 37 people of Mixed White and Black Caribbean heritage born between 1959 and 1994, in Britain’s second-largest city, Birmingham. The intimate life portraits of mixed identity reveal how colourism, family, school, gender, whiteness, racism, and resistance, have been experienced against the backdrop of post-war immigration, Thatcherism, the ascendency of Black diasporic youth cultures, and contemporary post-race discourses. It will be of interest to researchers, postgraduate and undergraduate students who work on (mixed) race and ethnicity studies in academic areas including geographies of race, youth identities\/cultures, gender, colonial legacies, intersectionality, racism, and colourism. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54237909877080,"sku":"9781032139326","price":55.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032139326.jpg?v=1768562120","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/making-mixed-race","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
