505 0 What's old is new again, or The brand new fetish: black/
white bodies in American racial discourse -- From naxos to
Copenhagen: Helga Crane's mixed-race aspirations in Nella
Larsen's Quicksand -- Homeward bound: negotiating borders
in Lucinda Roy's Lady Moses and Danzy Senna's Caucasia --
"This is how memory works": boundary crossing, belonging,
and Blackness in mixed-race autobiographies -- B(l)ack to
last drop? Mariah Carey, Halle Berry, and the complexities
of racial identity in popular culture.
520 The past two decades have seen a growing influx of
biracial discourse in fiction, memoir, and theory, and
since the 2008 election of Barack Obama to the presidency,
debates over whether America has entered a & ldquo;post-
racial & rdquo; phase have set the media abuzz. In this
penetrating and provocative study, Sika A. Dagbovie-
Mullins adds a new dimension to this dialogue as she
investigates the ways in which various mixed-race writers
and public figures have redefined both & ldquo;blackness &
rdquo; and & ldquo;whiteness & rdquo; by invoking multiple
racial identities. Focusing on several key novels &
mdash;Nella Larsen & rsquo;s Quicksand (1928), Lucinda Roy
& rsquo;s Lady Moses (1998), and Danzy Senna & rsquo;s
Caucasia (1998) & mdash;as well as memoirs by Obama, James
McBride, and Rebecca Walker and the personae of singer
Mariah Carey and actress Halle Berry, Dagbovie-Mullins
challenges conventional claims about biracial
identification with a concept she calls & ldquo;black-
sentient mixed-race identity. & rdquo; Whereas some
multiracial organizations can diminish blackness by, for
example, championing the inclusion of multiple-race
options on census forms and similar documents, a black-
sentient consciousness stresses a perception rooted in
blackness & mdash; & ldquo;a connection to a black
consciousness, & rdquo; writes the author, & ldquo;that
does not overdetermine but still plays a large role in one
& rsquo;s racial identification. & rdquo; By examining the
nuances of this concept through close readings of fiction,
memoir, and the public images of mixed-race celebrities,
Dagbovie-Mullins demonstrates how a & ldquo;black-sentient
mixed-race identity reconciles the widening separation
between black/white mixed race and blackness that has been
encouraged by contemporary mixed-race politics and popular
culture. & rdquo; A book that promises to spark new debate
and thoughtful reconsiderations of an especially timely
topic, Crossing B(l)ack recognizes and investigates
assertions of a black-centered mixed-race identity that
does not divorce a premodern racial identity from a
postmodern racial fluidity. SIKA A. DAGBOVIE-MULLINS is
associate professor in the Department of English at
Florida Atlantic University. Her articles have appeared in
African American Review, the Journal of Popular Culture,
and other publications.
