Half and Half: Writers on Growing Up Biracial and Bicultural

Half and Half: Writers on Growing Up Biracial and Bicultural

As we approach the twenty-first century, biracialism and biculturalism are becoming increasingly common.Â Â Skin color and place of birth are no longer reliable signifiers of one's identity or origin.Â Â Simple questions like What are you? and Where are you from? aren't answered--they are discussed.Â Â These eighteen essays, joined by a shared sense of duality, address the difficulties of not fitting into and the benefits of being part of two worlds.Â Â Through the lens of personal experience, they offer a broader spectrum of meaning for race and culture.Â Â And in the process, they map a new ethnic terrain that transcends racial and cultural division.
