{"product_id":"mixed-race-amnesia-minelle-mahtani-9780774827737","title":"Mixed Race Amnesia: Resisting the Romanticization of Multiraciality","description":"Racially mixed people in the global north are often portrayed as the embodiment of an optimistic, post-racial future. In \u003ci\u003eMixed Race Amnesia, \u003c\/i\u003e Minelle Mahtani makes the case that this romanticized view of multiraciality governs both public perceptions and personal accounts of the mixed race experience. Drawing on a series of interviews, she explores how, in order to adopt the view that being mixed race is progressive, a strategic forgetting takes place - one that obliterates complex diasporic histories. She argues that a new anti-colonial approach to multiraciality is needed, one that emphasizes how colonialism shapes the experiences of mixed race people today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Minelle Mahtani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774827734\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774827737\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.10d","brand":"Minelle Mahtani","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44809631531263,"sku":"9780774827737","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1034e864-9a5b-46b5-887c-860fe9eb4fd6.jpg?v=1707927036","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mixed-race-amnesia-minelle-mahtani-9780774827737","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
