How do multiracial Latinx students navigate their identities and find belonging in a world that sees race monoracially?
Multiracial Latinx College Students: Navigating Sense of Place in Monoracial Contexts by Sylvia Martinez and Aaron C. Toland explores how multiracial identities are still viewed through a monoracial lens, causing social challenges. Many face microaggressions and struggle with belonging. Existing research mainly focuses on Black/White biracial identities, leaving multiracial Latinx experiences misunderstood. Through qualitative interviews, this book highlights how multiracial Latinx students navigate identity and belonging from home to K-12 schools and into predominantly white colleges.
Ideal for scholars and students in Latinx Studies, sociology, education, and race studies, as well as educators and policymakers seeking to understand multiracial identity in academic and social contexts.
