About this listen

How does it feel when your heritage isn't listed as an option on an identification form?

What is it like to grow up as the only person in your family who looks like you?

Where do you belong if you are simultaneously seen as being 'too much' of one race and 'not enough' of another to fit neatly into society's expectations?

The mixed population is the fastest-growing group in the U.K. today, but the mainstream conversation around mixedness is stilted, repetitive and often problematic. At a time when ethnically ambiguous models fill our Instagram feeds and our high street shop windows, and when children of interracial relationships are lauded as heralding in the dawn of a post-racial utopia, journalist Natalie Morris takes a deep dive into what it really means to be mixed in Britain today.

From blackfishing to the fetishisation of mixed babies; from the complexities of passing and code-switching to navigating the world of work and dating, Natalie explores the ways in which all of these issues uniquely impact those of mixed heritage. Drawing from a wealth of research, interviews and her own personal experiences, in Mixed/Other, Natalie's aims to dismantle the stereotypes that have plagued mixed people for generations and to amplify the voices of mixed Britons today, shining a light on the struggles and the joys that come with being mixed.

Critic reviews

"A rare find." (Loyle Carner)

All stars

A really good discussion on mixed backgrounds and the differences in our stories, I found this very helpful to listen to as a mixed race person. I will be recommending it to non-mixed people too as the author explains a lot of the issues we face very well, through her own experiences and interviews with others from a broad range of backgrounds. Rare to find a book that mixed individuals can relate so much to! Also the narration is clear and easy to listen to.

Natalie discusses many issues about being mixed. She seems quite obsessed that being mixed with a white person is very important. But she does also point out Different mixtures like Asian and African. She explored some interesting ideas

excellent storytelling, exploration and narration. Finished this in about 3 days. In some parts of the book I felt very heard and it was very emotional as someone mixed myself. I would have appreciated more diversity of mixed Asian people however I understand the author was not mixed Asian herself and she is more likely going to interview people with a more similar background to her.
Very insightful and I recommend to all people who are mono racial to learn about the mixed race experience.
Only downside is as a mixed person I have become introduced about the negative attitudes and thoughts people have about me or my family/ or other mixed people that I wasn't aware of, which has now become apart of my daily thought process unfortunately.

Emotional. Recommend it to people of all ethnicities
