The Beiging of America, Being Mixed Race in the 21st Century (2LP EXPLORATIONS IN DIVERSITY) - Softcover
THE BEIGING OF AMERICA, BEING MIXED RACE IN THE 21ST CENTURY, takes on "race matters" and considers them through the firsthand accounts of mixed race people in the United States. Edited by mixed-race scholars Cathy J. Schlund-Vials, Sean Frederick Forbes and Tara Betts, this collection consists of 39 poets, writers, teachers, professors, artists and activists, whose personal narratives articulate the complexities of interracial life. THE BEIGING OF AMERICA was prompted by cultural critic/scholar Hua Hsu, who contemplated the changing face and race of U.S. demographics in his 2009 The Atlantic article provocatively titled "The End of White America." In it, Hsu acknowledged "steadily ascending rates of interracial marriage" that undergirded assertions about the "beiging of America." THE BEIGING OF AMERICA is an absorbing and thought-provoking collection of stories that explore racial identity, alienation, with people often forced to choose between races and cultures in their search for self-identity. While underscoring the complexity of the mixed-race experience, these unadorned voices offer a genuine, poignant, enlightening and empowering message to all readers.

Review:
"The contributors in THE BEIGING OF AMERICA tells us their stories, in their own voices. Every American should read this book and heed these voices. This is our racial future." --Paul Spickard, author of "Race in Mind: Critical Essays" (2015)
"THE BEIGING OF AMERICA points towards the next generation of first-person narratives about the mixed race experience, including those stories that go beyond the usual hand-wringing over census boxes to consider, more pressingly, the where and when of racial justice for peoples of color, mixed or not." --Michele Elam, author of "The Souls of Mixed Folk: Race, Politics, and Aesthetics in the New Millennium" (2011)
"This disarmingly candid collection gives voice to manifold experiences of being multiracial in America, through essays that are by turns poignant, insightful, heartbreaking, thought-provoking, and essential." --Ava Dellaira, author of "Love Letters to the Dead" (2013)
