Description: In this chronicle of his journey through life as a multicultural and multiethnic American, Teja Arboleda uniquely and personally challenges institutionalized notions of race, culture, ethnicity, and class. His engrossing, well-told story brings us face-to-face with vital questions: What is the state of race relations in America today? How are we thinking about diversity? Are we missing something? What factors need to be considered?

Are we really addressing the concerns of a multiracial/multicultural population? What's the difference? Arboleda has presented his story around the United States through his one-man performance-lecture, "Ethnic Man!" Now, in this book, he fleshes out the depth of his experience as a culturally and racially mixed American, illustrating throughout the enigma of cultural and racial identity and the American identity crisis.
