The mixed race experience

£10.99

What are the challenges of living between different cultures or identifying with one and not the other? How do you negotiate two worlds when you may not feel fully accepted in either? What are the challenges of being in a mixed race relationship and starting a family? How you do manage the stark reality of racism within your own family? In the last census, Britain recorded over 1.2 million people who identified as mixed race. In ‘The Mixed Race Experience’, Natalie and Naomi Evans, founders of the anti-racist activist platform, Everyday Racism, share their experiences of growing up mixed race in Britain, how they continue to process, understand and learn about their identity and use their privilege to advocate for change, as well as addressing the privileges and complexities of being mixed race in Britain today.

What does it mean to be mixed race in today’s society?

In this powerful book, Natalie and Naomi Evans, founders of anti-racist advocacy and platform Everyday Racism, explore the complexities of mixed-race identities – from the discrimination endured by the 1.2 million mixed people in Britain and millions more elsewhere, to the privileges it can afford. Sharing their own personal experiences of growing up in Britain to illuminate the nuances of racial identity, the book also weaves in:

– Interviews with people from mixed backgrounds and in mixed relationships
– Research to dispel common myths and stereotypes
– Practical advice for mixed-race families and friendships

The Mixed-Race Experience will help you to recognise and confront the racism within your own family and communities, helping us all to deepen our intersectional awareness and commitment to allyship.
