The semester system is about to start and as promised, I am sharing student rated favorite readings for an Advanced Topics in Race, Ethnicity, and Racism course.

A lot of #Krug convos are bringing up issues related to racial identity, racial ambiguity, & colorism and I just want to say that all of these concepts are related but also very *different*

I want to share some relevant (mainly sociological) works in this #Thread First, Nikki Kanna's work has explored passing and reflected appraisals for mixed race folks. Here w/ Cathryn Johnson on Black mixture "Passing as Black: Racial Identity Work among Biracial Americans" journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/01… and also Asian Ams too journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.117…
