About this title: The complexion of the world is changing. There are millions of people of multiracial descent and the number is growing.

"It's good for people to understand the diversity of experiences for people of mixed heritage - both within similar mixes, and among different ones. I read this while living in Maui, fittingly enough..."
"Read this as I was preparing to lead a multi-ethnic track at an ethnicity conference. The book is an anthology of bi/multi-ethnic authors writing fictional accounts that reflect the multi-ethnic experience.
What I appreciated was the ability of fiction to highlight certain tension points and frustrations and experiences of the authors. Some authors even use fantasy (e.g. the Minotaur story told from his perspective... living in neither world and thus set apart and alone) to make a point.
However, I felt that none of the stories really did more than make interesting comments about the experience, and I did not find it constructive in that sense. Sometimes the story were a little too abstract for me personally as well."
