Mixed: An Anthology of Short Fiction on the Multiracial Experience

The book explores the rising population of multiracial individuals, highlighting that in several U.S. states, a significant percentage of school-age children identify as multiracial. It notes California's notable statistic of 15 percent of births being multiracial. Despite these demographics, the struggle for a clear identity persists, as historically, multiracial people have been marginalized, with the U.S. Census only recently allowing multiple racial identifications. This shift underscores the ongoing quest for recognition and representation in society.
