American Mixed Race Studies

American Mixed Race Studies is an academic field that examines the experiences, identities, and histories of individuals with diverse racial backgrounds within the United States. It explores how mixed-race identities are formed, understood, and socially constructed, considering factors like culture, phenotype, and social perceptions. The field addresses issues of identity, representation, and inequality faced by multiracial people, challenging traditional racial categories. It also analyzes the changing demographics and societal attitudes towards multiracial populations, contributing to broader discussions about race, ethnicity, and social justice in America.
