This volume is dedicated to understanding how the existence, experiences, and voices of multiracial individuals are rearticulating categorizations of race and altering the meaning of racial identity. Bunsma (sociology and black studies, U. of Missouri) has organized the 20 contributions into four sections that correspond to the following dimensions of the subject: the historical, present, and future structural and cultural racial hierarchy in the US and how racial identities rearticulate shifting color lines; the ways that groups, movements, institutions, and the state use multiraciality to expand, redraw, rearticulate, and commodify racial boundaries and their meanings; how the socialization processes in (largely interracial) families translate shifting racial formations and changing meanings of race into ideologies of identity for mixed-race children; and models of how race, interraciality, and multiraciality are negotiated in context.
