Book excerpt: Beyond Black: Biracial Identity in America is a groundbreaking study of the dynamic meaning of racial identity for multiracial people in post-civil rights America. Kerry Ann Rockquemore and David L. Brunsma document the wide range of racial identities that individuals with one black and one white parent develop, and they provide an incisive sociological explanation of the choices facing those who are multiracial. Stemming from the controversy of the 2000 census and whether an additional "multiracial" category should be added to the survey, this second edition of Beyond Black uses both survey data and interviews of multiracial young adults to explore the contemporary dynamics of racial identity formation. The authors raise social and political questions that are posed by expanding racial categorization on the U.S. census. Book jacket.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiracial people are the fastest growing demographic in the U.S., with the largest concentration under the age of 18 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2021). Despite this, research about racial identity for multiracial adolescents is limited, especially research that takes a strengths-based approach. Racial identity has traditionally been thought of as a set monoracial point of resolution; but racial identity for multiracial youth is more nuanced, as their racial identity is more fluid, can change in different contexts or stages of life (Joseph & Briscoe-Smith, 2021), and some choose to forgo identifying with a racial grouping altogether (Renn, 2008), making measuring racial identity through traditional models or measures challenging for this demographic. Given this reality, this study takes a Critical Multiracial Theory (MultiCrit) frame to study and understand multiracial youth, which highlights the salience and importance of the combination of racial identities a multiracial person holds varying situationally as well as across time, and the importance of centering multiracial youth and their lived experiences (Harris, 2016). The study also utilizes the findings of Williams et al. (2020)’s model of racial identity development across the lifespan, which highlights “personal meaning making” of race as the outcome of racial identity development, instead of a set, most salient racial identity checkbox like previous models. In this study, responses from a national sample of multiracial eighth-grade students and their parents on the National Center for Education Statistics’ Early Childhood Learning Survey were analyzed through univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses in an exploratory cross-sectional quantitative study. Students’ responses on social-emotional learning (SEL) constructs and a self-concept questionnaire, in combination with parents’ responses on parent-child relationship constructs provided insight into how SEL affects self-concept, how the parent-child relationship affects self-concept, and how these two areas of a child’s life may interact to affect their self-concept, which was used as a proxy for racial identity. Self-concept, instead of a traditional racial identity measure was used because (1) there are no large scale studies that assess multiracial identity or use instruments that explicitly measure elements of racial identity for multiracial youth, (2) the MultiCrit framing and findings of Williams et al. (2020) showcase the importance of measuring racial identity beyond belonging in a single racial category, and (3) self-concept is the way that a person feels about themselves, especially in relation to social identities (Cherry, 2022), and Sellers, et al. (1998) state that racial identity is the part of a person's self-concept that is related to her/his membership within a race. The study results suggested SEL constructs are associated with self-concept, but there was no support for the association between parent-child relationship and self-concept. The findings of the study are the first to establish the groundwork for exploring the relationship between SEL and elements of racial identity for multiracial youth, and can provide support for future researchers to expand the ways they conceptualize and measure racial identity, as the importance of understanding multiracial youth’s racial identities is understanding the impact of racial identity on the whole individual, and how researchers and practitioners can support positive, healthy development overall.

Book Well Water Not My Real Name

Download or read book Well Water Not My Real Name written by Danny E. Blanchard and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-12-26 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Racial identity, or the significance and meaning that individuals attribute to race, is recognized as a key factor in how African Americans cope with racism experiences. Unfortunately, however, the few studies that have examined African Americans’ responses to racist events have failed to account for differences across situations that African Americans experience, making it difficult to ascertain whether differences in coping are due to person variables, the situation, or both. In the present study, we adopted a stress and coping approach to examine the relations among racial identity, racism-related stress appraisal, and coping with lifetime racism experiences.

Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary volume surveys the diverse experiences of biracial families, both across and outside the black/white binary. The book examines the deep-rooted social contexts that inform the lifespan of interracial families, from dating and marriage through the stages of parenthood, as well as families’ unique responses and realities. Through a variety of structures and settings including blended and adoptive families, contributors describe families’ strengths and resilience in meeting multiple personal and larger social challenges. The intricacies of parenting and family development are also revealed as an ongoing learning process as parents and children construct identity, culture, and meaning. Among the topics covered: Social constitutionality of race in America: some meanings for biracial/multiracial families. Interracial marriages: historical and contemporary trends. Racial socialization: a developmental perspective. Biracial families formed through adoption. Diverse family structures within biracial families. Racial identity: choices, context, and consequences. Addressing lingering gaps in the existing literature and highlighting areas for future study, Biracial Families gives readers a fuller understanding of a growing and diversifying population. Its depth and breadth of coverage makes the book an invaluable reference not only for practitioners and researchers, but also for educators and interracial families across the spectrum.

Download or read book Black Child White Child written by Judith D. R. Porter and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1971 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I don't like colored people.' 'He's lazy because he's colored.' Similar attitudes have too many echoes in American society. What distinguishes these particular comments is that they were made by preschool-age children, the former by a five-year-old white, the latter by a four-year-old black. The general public might be amazed to find that statements of this type were made by such young children, yet it is now widely accepted by social scientists that racial attitudes are learned during preschool years.
