Abstract:
|
There is contention in multiracial studies as to whether multiracial people perpetuate or
challenge the current racial hierarchy. This study explores the sociopolitical
consciousness of white/minority multiracial people. The themes explored are the
connection between the personal and the political, and the positive and negative impacts
of passing on dominant culture identification and worldview. Participants had ambivalent
attitudes regarding personal attitudes about racial identity and their relationship to the
sociopolitical issues. Exploration into the issue of passing suggests that there are new
ways to think about the concept. Also included are a discussion about the implications for
practice and suggestions for further research. |
