Description
The Reflexivity of Pain and Privilege offers a fresh and critical perspective to people of indigenous and/or marginalized identifications. It highlights the research, shared experiences and personal stories, and the artistic collections of those who are of mixed heritage and/or identity, as well as the perspectives of young adolescents who identify as being of mixed racial, socio-economic, linguistic, and ethno-cultural backgrounds and experiences. These auto-ethnographic collections serve as an impetus for the untold stories of millions of marginalized people who may find solace here and in the stories of others who are of mixed identity.
Reviews / Votes
"A groundbreaking and thoughtful collection of narratives, essays, and poems on challenges that arise for individuals of mixed race identity at different stages of development. Drawing on the experiences of an international collection of scholars, these artifacts remind us that in a world where race and ethnic identities are often used to confer power and privilege, those who occupy hybrid spaces because of their status as 'mixed' people, often have unique insights into how these social constructions of identity play out in everyday life. Illuminating and thought provoking, this book will serve as a useful guide to anyone who seeks to understand why race and ethnicity continue to matter so much in modern society."~Pedro A. Noguera, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Education, University of California, Los Angeles
