This book investigates how implicit bias affects multiracial kids in unforeseen ways, impacting those who are read as children of color as well as those who are not; how the silencing and invisibility of their experiences often create a barrier for mixed-race kids to engage in nuanced conversations about race and identity in the classroom; and how teachers are finding powerful ways to make meaningful connections with their mixed-race students. In addition, this book breaks out of the Black–White binary to include the perspectives of mixed-race children from Asian American, Latinx, and Native American backgrounds. It also diverges from scholarship on mixed-race youth by providing viewpoints from children who come from two or more communities of color, and not simply those who are from White–people of color backgrounds.   Book Features:     Examination of the most contemporary issues that impact mixed-race children and youth, including the racialized violence with which our country is now reckoning.  Guided exercises with relevant, action-oriented information for educators, parents, and caregivers in every chapter. Engaging storytelling that brings the school worlds of mixed-race children and youth to life. Interdisciplinary scholarship from social and developmental psychology, Critical Mixed Race Studies, and education.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49755389690129,"sku":"CIN0807765325G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50576581361937,"sku":"CIN0807765325VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0807765325.jpg?v=1762596498"},{"product_id":"transcending-blackness-book-ralina-l-joseph-9780822352921","title":"Transcending Blackness","description":"Representations of multiracial Americans, especially those with one black and one white parent, appear everywhere in contemporary culture, from reality shows to presidential politics. Some depict multiracial individuals as mired in painful confusion; others equate them with progress, as the embodiment of a postracial utopia. In Transcending Blackness, Ralina L. Joseph critiques both depictions as being rooted in—and still defined by—the racist notion that blackness is a deficit that must be overcome. Analyzing emblematic representations of multiracial figures in popular culture—Jennifer Beals's character in the The L Word; the protagonist in Danny Senza's novel Caucasia; the title character in the independent film Mixing Nia; and contestants in a controversial episode of the reality show America's Next Top Model, who had to \"switch ethnicities\" for a photo shoot—Joseph identifies the persistence of two widespread stereotypes about mixed-race African Americans, those of \"new millennium mulattas\" and \"exceptional multiracials.\" The former inscribes multiracial African Americans as tragic figures whose blackness predestines them for misfortune; the latter rewards mixed-race African Americans for successfully erasing their blackness. Addressing questions of authenticity, sexuality, and privilege, Transcending Blackness refutes the idea that race no longer matters in American society.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50097422762257,"sku":"CIN0822352923G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53035340103953,"sku":"NIN9780822352921","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0822352923.jpg?v=1756290638"},{"product_id":"postracial-resistance-book-ralina-l-joseph-9781479886371","title":"Postracial Resistance","description":"Winner, 2019 Outstanding Book Award, International Communication Association  How Black women in the spotlight negotiate the post-racial gaze of Hollywood and beyond   From Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama, and Shonda Rhimes to their audiences and the industry workers behind the scenes, Ralina L. Joseph considers the way that Black women are required to walk a tightrope. Do they call out racism only to face accusations of being called \"racists\"? Or respond to racism in code only to face accusations of selling out? Postracial Resistance explores how African American women celebrities, cultural producers, and audiences employ postracial discourse—the notion that race and race-based discrimination are over and no longer affect people's everyday lives—to refute postracialism itself. In a world where they're often written off as stereotypical \"Angry Black Women,\" Joseph offers that some Black women in media use \"strategic ambiguity,\" deploying the failures of post-racial discourse to name racism and thus resist it.  In Postracial Resistance, Joseph listens to and observes Black women as they perform and negotiate race in strategic ambiguity. Using three methods of media analysis—textual readings of the media's representation of these women; interviews with writers, producers, and studio executives; and audience ethnographies of young women viewers—Joseph maps the tensions and strategies that all Black women must engage to challenge the racialized sexism of everyday life, on- and off-screen.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50377639624977,"sku":"CIN1479886378G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51028932067601,"sku":"NIN9781479886371","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51244571623697,"sku":"GOR014206756","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52474532331793,"sku":"NLS9781479886371","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1479886378.jpg?v=1751242146"},{"product_id":"racial-exhaustion-book-ralina-l-joseph-9781479840007","title":"Racial Exhaustion","description":"How to build stamina to confront racial exhaustion and communicate differently about race  In the wake of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, many Americans – regardless of race – find themselves exhausted by conversations about race and racism.
