Race Policy and Multiracial Americans
Editat de Kathleen Odell Korgenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 ian 2016
This is the first book to offer a closer look at the effects of multiracial citizens on race-related policies. As the number of people who identify as multiracial is growing rapidly, policies that relate to race continue to lag behind, failing to properly account for the ways that a multiracial citizenry complicates programs aimed at mitigating the effects of racism, ameliorating past discrimination, and more. The book takes up key questions relating to the intersection of race-based policies, social welfare, education, and multiracial citizens, while drawing on tools and techniques from a range of fields to present a picture of where we’re at today and what possible steps are needed to create more effective and more inclusive policies in the future. It will be essential reading for students and scholars in sociology, political science, public policy, and other fields dealing with race relations and social justice.

Recenzii
“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.”
“Brings together the finest scholars to explore how our racial policy impacts the growing population of multiracial Americans. A must read for those who are concerned with the challenges they face.”
“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.”
