Race Policy and Multiracial Americans

"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
