Race Policy and Multiracial Americans is the first book to look at the impact of multiracial people on race policies—where they lag behind the growing numbers of multiracial people in the U.S. and how they can be used to promote racial justice for multiracial Americans. Using a critical mixed race perspective, it covers such questions as: Which policies aimed at combating racial discrimination should cover multiracial Americans? Should all (or some) multiracial Americans benefit from affirmative action programmes? How can we better understand the education and health needs of multiracial Americans?This much-needed book is essential reading for sociology, political science and public policy students, policy makers, and anyone interested in race relations and social justice.
"Unique in addressing race policy in the US from the perspective of multiracials and it can be used in a variety of courses including social work, psychology, sociology and history. Informative and descriptive in its nature, the book provides a springboard for discussion... the book is a wonderful addition to the current discussion of racial issues and policies in the US." Ethnic and Racial Studies, Volume 42, 2019
"A timely and masterful addition to the literature on multiraciality. It counters any argument that growing numbers of multiracials in the United States are a sign that we are in a post-racial society. The authors argue persuasively that multiracials indicate, rather, the need to adjust current race policies." G. Reginald Daniel, University of California, USA
"Brings together the finest scholars to explore how our racial policy impacts the growing population of multiracial Americns. A must read for those who are concerned with the challenges they face." George Yancey, University of North Texas, USA
