Mixed/Other: Explorations of Multiraciality in Modern Britain by Natalie Morris
5.0
This book forms a much needed interjection into a national conversation that elides mixed voices.
I think it will resonant with mixed people, many of whom will have wished this book was around earlier, whilst they were struggling to navigate their formative years as a mixed individual.
In the book, Natalie blends technical language from academic studies with the lived experiences and oral histories of mixed people, to provide a well balanced account of mixedness. She covers an array of important topics from identity formation to fetishisation, which I found fruitful for pensive introspection. What a book!
