As the multiracial population in the United States continues to rise,
new models for our understanding of mixed-race children and how their
conception of racial identity must be developed. A wide divide between
academics who research biracial identity, and the everyday world of
parents and practitioners who raise and deal with mixed-race children
exists. This book aims to fill this gap by providing an extensive
synthesis of the existing research in the field, as well as a model for
better understanding the unique process of racial identity development
for mixed-race children. Raising Biracial Children provides parents,
educators, social workers, and anyone interested in multiracial issues
with an accessible framework for understanding healthy mixed-race
identity development and to translate those findings into practical
care-giving strategies.
