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.

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.

Taught me a lot about issues mixed race people face on a daily basis, terminology to use when talking about racism and I feel I have more understanding. Thank you.
