{"product_id":"making-mixed-race-karis-campion-9780367462918","title":"Making Mixed Race: A Study of Time, Place and Identity","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy examining Black mixed-race identities in the city through a series of historical vantage points, \u003ci\u003eMaking Mixed Race\u003c\/i\u003e provides in-depth insights into the geographical and historical contexts that shape the possibilities and constraints for identifications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhilst popular representations of mixed-race often conceptualise it as a contemporary phenomenon and are couched in discourses of futurity, this book dislodges it from the current moment to explore its emergence as a racialised category, and personal identity, over time. In addition to tracing the temporality of mixed-race, the contributions show the utility of place as an analytical tool for mixed-race studies. The conceptual framework for the book - place, time, and personal identity - offers a timely intervention to the scholarship that encourages us to look outside of individual subjectivities and critically examine the structural contexts that shape Black mixed-race lives.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book centres around the life histories of 37 people of Mixed White and Black Caribbean heritage born between 1959 and 1994, in Britain's second-largest city, Birmingham. The intimate life portraits of mixed identity reveal how colourism, family, school, gender, whiteness, racism, and resistance, have been experienced against the backdrop of post-war immigration, Thatcherism, the ascendency of Black diasporic youth cultures, and contemporary post-race discourses. It will be of interest to researchers, postgraduate and undergraduate students who work on (mixed) race and ethnicity studies in academic areas including geographies of race, youth identities\/cultures, gender, colonial legacies, intersectionality, racism, and colourism. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karis Campion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367462915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367462918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/24\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Karis Campion","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43944983822591,"sku":"9780367462918","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_12b37253-bead-4410-b23b-8c0b8686ac7d.jpg?v=1681506107","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/making-mixed-race-karis-campion-9780367462918","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
