Product Description

Product Description

The complexion of the world is changing. There are millions of people of multiracial descent and the number is growing. With a roster of acclaimed authors, "Mixed" explodes expectations of what it means to be multiracial. Including contributors such as Danzy Senna, Cristina Garcia and Diana Abu-Jaber, and with an illuminating introduction by Rebecca Walker, this is the first anthology to give voice to the multiple identities of the rising generation. Peter Ho Davies's confused minotaur; Ruth Ozeki's young, biracial gumshoes; and Wayde Compton's college junkie inhabit stories that are as broad in style as in perspective. Yet, as a whole, "Mixed" reflects a singular spirit, one of nonconformity in a world where people continue to ask the question "What are you?" and then wait for a one-word response.

5.0 out of 5 stars A unique book, well worth the money, 8 Sep 2006
I read a couple of positive reviews for this book and decided to buy it. Previously, the only similar book I'd read was Half and Half: Writers on Growing up Biracial and Bicultural. That book was nonfiction. What I liked about Mixed is that it is comprised of only fiction, which I've always preferred to memoirs, essays, etc. Short stories are easier for me to relate to, analyze, and explore on a more personal level. I found the stories of very high literary quality (expect nothing less from W.W. Norton). One standout is Ruth Ozeki's "The Anthropologists' Kids," which addresses the theme of mixed race and culture with such acuity and nuance that the story transcends its context and becomes a universally sympathetic tale of adolescent discontent and unrequited love. Mat Johnson's "Gift Gifting" is so brazen and gritty compared to some of the other pieces that its impact is jarringly good. I also enjoyed the elegant simplicity of the pieces by Emily Raboteau and Neela Vaswani. The author's comments on their own stories are sometimes as fascinating as--or even more fascinating than--the stories themselves, as is the case with Kien Nguyen's "The Lost Sparrow." Overall, I came away from this anthology with a better sense of what the term multiracial (or "mixed") means, and how complicated, strange, and powerful a factor race continues to be in many people's lives. This is a unique book, and well worth checking out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Please buy this if you are mixed race and looking for evidence of a common experience, 20 Jun 2009
The first time I ever felt one of an "us" was when I read this book. As a teenager, the impossibility of getting a proper haircut in a "white" hairdressers and the hot embarrassed feeling of being an utter fraud in a "black" hairdressers. I wish this book had been around when I was a teenager, it would have helped me no end. Something that has been needed for a while.
