Description: With a roster of acclaimed fiction writers, Mixed explodes expectations of what it means to be multiracial. The complexion of the world is changing. People can trace their lineage to Native American, black, Asian, Irish, Italian, and Puerto Rican heritage- sometimes all in the same person. The United States counts over twenty million people of multiracial descent, and the number is growing. This book gives narrative voice to the multiple identities of the rising generation.
