Summary:

Author Bettez (University of North Carolina-Greensboro) highlights the voices of 16 mixed-race women from three regions of the US. Their reflections on their experiences of institutional privilege and oppression, excerpted from conversations, dialogues, and interviews, reveal another perspective of white identity that is not usually shared outside of black culture. The women touch on issues such as negotiating racial and ethnic identity changes within institutional structures, learning to live with ambiguity, 'passing' or being perceived as white, and the role of mixed-race people in educating others about racial and ethnic issues. The book will be of interest to sociologists, feminists, social justice scholars, and qualitative researchers. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
