The book examines the deep-rooted social contexts that inform the lifespan of interracial families, from dating and marriage through the stages of parenthood, as well as families’ unique responses and realities. Through a variety of structures and settings including blended and adoptive families, contributors describe families’ strengths and resilience in meeting multiple personal and larger social challenges. The intricacies of parenting and family development are also revealed as an ongoing learning process as parents and children construct identity, culture, and meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Among the topics covered:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocial constitutionality of race in America: some meanings for biracial\/multiracial families.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterracial marriages: historical and contemporary trends.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRacial socialization: a developmental perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiracial families formed through adoption.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiverse family structures within biracial families.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRacial identity: choices, context, and consequences.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAddressing lingering gaps in the existing literature and highlighting areas for future study, \u003ci\u003eBiracial Families\u003c\/i\u003e gives readers a fuller understanding of a growing and diversifying population.
