520 "Elected in 2008, Barack Obama made history as the first
African American President of the United States. Though
recognized as the son of his white Kansas-born mother and
his Kenyan father, the media and public have nonetheless
pigeonholed him as black, and he too self-identifies as
such. Obama's experiences as a biracial American with
black and white ancestry, although compelling because of
his celebrity, however, is not unique and raises several
questions about the growing number of black-white biracial
Americans today: How are they perceived by others with
regard to race? How do they tend to identify? And why?
Taking a social psychological approach, this book
identifies influencing factors and several underlying
processes shaping racial identity. Unlikeprevious studies
which examine racial identity as if it was a one-
dimensional concept, this book examines two dimensions of
identity - a public dimension (how they identify
themselves to others) and an internalized dimension (how
they see themselves internally) - noting that both types
of identity may not mesh, and in fact, they may be quite
different from one another. Moreover, this study
investigates the ways in which biracial Americans perform
race in their day-to-day lives. One's race isn't simply
something that others prescribe onto the individual, but
something that individuals 'do.' The strategies and
motivations for performing black, white, and biracial
identities are explored"--Provided by publisher.
