Review:
As the title indicates, this extensive bibliography provides brief annotations for over 1,000 children's and YA books featuring characters of mixed racial, ethnic, and/or religious heritage. As defined by the author, a person of mixed heritage carries the bloodlines of parents from different cultures and heritages (i.e., someone who has both Italian and Japanese ancestors), as opposed to a person of dual heritage, who has one ancestral culture but lives in a country other than his ancestral origin (i.e., an Italian-American). After the book looks briefly at nonfiction titles on the topic of mixed heritage, the ensuing chapters organize books (both fiction and nonfiction) by specific heritage according to nationality and religion while the final chapters deal with special issues that come up in books about adoption and/or mixed heritage relationships. Each annotation includes a recommended age level, bibliographic information, and in most cases, information on the heritage being covered. Four indexes are provided (title, author/editor, person, and subject) for easy access. KQG --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
