| Summary |
"This revised edition begins with a new introduction, setting the data in today's context, and includes updated statistics and references. Black, White or Mixed Race is as relevant today as when it was first published. In it Tizard and Phoenix explore the question of mixed-race identity through interviews with young people from a range of social backgrounds, all of whom had one white and one African or Afro-Caribbean parent. The authors use interview data with both the young people and their parents to examine their attitudes towards their identity, their cultural orientations, their feelings about black and white people, and their expectations of racism."--BOOK JACKET |
