About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

What does it mean to be mixed race in today's society?

In this powerful book, Natalie and Naomi Evans, founders of anti-racist advocacy and platform Everyday Racism, explore the complexities of mixed-race identities - from the discrimination endured by the 1.2 million mixed people in Britain and millions more elsewhere, to the privileges it can afford. Sharing their own personal experiences of growing up in Britain to illuminate the nuances of racial identity, the book also weaves in:

  • Interviews with people from mixed backgrounds and in mixed relationships
  • Research to dispel common myths and stereotypes
  • Practical advice for mixed-race families and friendships

The Mixed-Race Experience will help you to recognise and confront the racism within your own family and communities, helping us all to deepen our intersectional awareness and commitment to allyship.

Thought-provoking, sensitive and challenging, The Mixed Race Experience is a deeply moving look at identity and belonging.

Critic reviews

"Natalie and Naomi are truly inspirational thought leaders." (Sophie Williams, author of Anti-Racist Ally and Millennial Black)

I loved this book. It’s the first time I’ve read something that I can fully relate to and has forced me to open up conversations with family and friends. The different stories from various contributors was a lovely touch too. Thoroughly recommend.

Raw and thought provoking

“Honest conversations about the construction of race and stark implications that racial identities have on our life are crucial…It's important that we continue to expand our knowledge and understanding of this in order to subvert the current trap we fall into, which is to place so much emphasis on race as a fixed identity.”

‘The Mixed Race Experience’ is a thoughtful exploration of the complexities of navigating race, heritage and identity as someone identifying as mixed race or being of mixed heritage.

Natalie and Naomi remind us that the mixed race identity “is not a monolith”, and through reflecting on their own experiences alongside engaging in conversations with others, have gone beyond the binary of ‘black and white’ to more accurately represent the differences in the experiences of those of mixed heritage.

I have been challenged and moved by the vulnerability displayed by the authors and those interviewed, and am still thoughtful after reading this book.

Challenging, relevant and thought provoking.
