TY - GEN T1 - The politics of multiracialism : challenging racial thinking A2 - Dalmage, Heather M., 1965- LA - English PP - Albany PB - State University of New York Press YR - 2004 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/ebsco_acadsubs_ocm62348636 AB - "This is the first book to critically look at the political issues and interests surrounding the broadly defined Multiracial Movement and at what is being said about multiracialism. Many of the multiracial family organizations that exist across the United States developed socially, ideologically, and politically during the conservative Reagan years. While members of the Multiracial Movement differ widely in their political views, the concept of multiracialism has been taken up by conservative politicians in ways that are often inimical to the interests of traditionally defined minorities." "Contributors look at the Multiracial Movement's voice and at the political controversies that attend the notion of multiracialism in academic and popular literature, internet discourse, census debates, and discourse by and about pop culture celebrities. The work discusses how multiracialism, hybridity, and racial mixing have occurred amidst existing academic discussions of authenticity, community borders, identity politics, the social construction of race, and postmodern fragmentation. How the Multiracial Movement is shaping and transforming collective multiracial identities is also explored."--Jacket OP - 253 CN - E184.A1 P655 2004eb SN - 1423739132 SN - 9781423739135 SN - 9780791484760 SN - 0791484769 SN - 9780791461532 SN - 079146153X SN - 0791461548 SN - 9780791461549 KW - Multiracial people : Race identity : United States.
