Description
Beyond Black and White is a new anthology of readings that reflects the complexity of racial dynamics in the contemporary United States, where the fastest-growing group is "two or more races." Drawing on the work of both established figures in the field and early career scholars, Zulema Valdez has assembled a rich and provocative collection of pieces that illustrates the diversity of today’s American racial landscape. Where many books tend to focus primarily on majority–minority relations, Beyond Black and White offers a more nuanced picture by including pieces on multiracial/multiethnic identities, relations between and within minority communities, and the experiences of minority groups who have achieved power and status within American society.

Media Reviews
"I really like the range of topics covered and the focus on looking at differences within groups. Chapter 8 [Unmasking Racism: Halloween Costuming and Engagement of the Racial Other] looks especially appealing in this respect. I also like the general framing of the book, and its focus on nonwhites." -- Tomás R. Jiménez
"I am especially happy with the inclusion of colorism, which all our students are keenly aware of from their experiences." -- Donna Martinez
