Rethinking mixed heritage in an era of superdiversity: Interrogating post-racial interpretations of demographic change
Introduction: Towards a Racial Turn in Spanish Scholarship on Migration and Diversity
This special issue aims to contribute to the debate on race, racialisation and racism in Spain from a perspective that combines theoretical analysis and empirical studies. We take a systemic understanding of racial relations as our point of departure and focus on the Spanish context. Our objective is twofold: First, we want to challenge a persistent “colour-blindness” and a widely spread silence about race in European societies (Lentin, 2018; Son…
Racialisation, Discrimination, and Ethnic Identity among Spanish Gitanos: The Test of Mixedness
In Spain, and in Europe in general, research on racism and racialisation has mostly focused on foreign-born immigrants. Much less attention has been given to national ethnic minorities, in particular to Gitanos (Spanish Roma), the longest-established and largest ethnic minority group in the country, and also one of the most discriminated-against minority groups throughout Spanish history. This article presents research that has applied the study …
The “Conguito”, the “Moro” and the “Gitano”: Multiraciality and the Pervasive Stigmatisation of Racialised Youth in Spain
Maghrebi Muslims, Black Africans, and Spanish Roma people are possibly the most stigmatised, racialised and discriminated against groups in contemporary Spain, a country with a strong legacy of colonialism and a problematic relationship with diversity. Because mixedness is a crucial test for evaluating the persistence of societal ethnoracial divisions, in this article we analyse the narratives of children and youth of Maghrebi Muslim, Black Afro-…
Evaluación de la integración relacional de los inmigrantes en uniones mixtas a partir del análisis de redes personales
Desde principios de la última década el número de matrimonios mixtos ha crecido considerablemente. En este artículo presentamos resultados que intentan clarifi car la relación entre uniones mixtas e integración social, a partir del análisis de datos primarios de entrevistas en profundidad con delineación de redes personales.

'I think I'm agnostic because I have a Muslim father and a Catholic mother'. Religious transmission to children from interfaith unions in Barcelona
Based on an ethnographic study conducted with in-depth interviews, this study shows how the children of interfaith couples whose members were socialised in the Catholic and/or Muslim faiths, respectively, internalise the religious and/or cultural values that their parents transmit to them. We furthermore point out that the negotiation processes of both transmission by the couple and inheritance by the descendants are often conditioned by social a…
Mixedness and Intersectionality: The Use of Relief Maps to Understand the Experiences of Multiracial Women of African Descent in Spain
This article analyzes the experiences of multiracial women of African descent in Catalonia, Spain—looking at their identity processes, social relations, experiences of racialization and discrimination, and strategies of resistance—using a novel qualitative research method called “Relief Maps,” a very useful tool for the study of social inequalities from an intersectional and multilocational perspective. Relief Maps are a data collection tool and …
Daughters of Maghrebian Muslim and native non-Muslim couples in Spain: Identity choices and constraints
This article explores the life experiences of the daughters of mixed couples living in Spain. These adolescents and young adults have one Muslim parent of Maghrebi origin and another non-Muslim native Spanish parent. Drawing on in-depth interviews, we examine the identity processes of this female population and the interplay between factors of origin, location, and gender. We find that prejudices around Maghrebi Muslims in Spain have a constraini…
The Persistence of Racial Constructs in Spain: Bringing Race and Colorblindness into the Debate on Interculturalism
In this article, I argue that persisting racial constructs in Spain affect conceptions of national belonging and continue to shape and permeate contemporary discriminations. I begin by describing several recent political events that demonstrate the urgent need for a discussion about "race" and racialization in the country. Second, some conceptual foundations are provided concerning constructs of race and the corollary processes of racism and raci…
Negociación de la identidad religiosa de jóvenes de familias mixtas interreligiosas musulmanas en España: Dinámicas de género, posibilidades y condicionamientos
España ha experimentado en las últimas décadas un aumento significativo en las uniones mixtas entre nativos e inmigrantes con uno de los cónyuges musulmán. En este artículo presentamos los resultados de un estudio pionero y prospectivo sobre la negociación de la identidad religiosa de descendientes de estas parejas en Cataluña, en un contexto de predominio del secularismo y la islamofobia. A partir del análisis de entrevistas, los resultados indi…
“Tú, como eres negra, harás de lobo”. El debate pendiente sobre la cuestión de la raza en España
En este artículo argumentamos que la idea de “raza” constituye un factor fundamental para la atribución de la pertenencia y el tratamiento social diferencial en España. Tras operacionalizar algunos conceptos clave (raza, racismo y racialización), ofrecemos una contextualización histórica y social sobre la construcción de la idea de raza en España, y aportamos datos sociodemográficos sobre la prevalencia del racismo en la sociedad española. En seg…

The articles in this volume address the diverse experiences of the identification, socialising and mainstreaming of multiethnic and multiracial individuals in different national contexts. Th…
Blurring of colour lines? Ethnoracially mixed youth in Spain navigating identity
The recent rise in Spain of mixed unions between people born in different countries has brought about a significant increase in the number of multiethnic and multiracial individuals in the country. However, no research currently exists in Spain on the life experiences and identity processes of these mixed-parentage youth. Drawing on 124 in-depth interviews, this article examines the narratives of ethnoracially mixed descendants from diverse backg…
The stigma of Muslimness: Perceived visibility and racism in daughters of mixed couples with Maghrebian background in Barcelona and Granada
En base al análisis de 26 entrevistas en profundidad a hijas de parejas mixtas (con uno de sus miembros de origen magrebí) residentes en Barcelona y Granada, este artículo muestra cómo los procesos identitarios de estas jóvenes pueden estar influenciados por la percepción de su musulmaneidad. El estigma del “moro”, construido históricamente, se vehicula a través de marcadores visibles y estereotipados que sitúan inmediatamente a la persona que es…
Ethnicity, Multiculturalism, and Transnationalism
Thus, the first term refers to the awareness of belonging to a group with particular characteristics (e.g., territorial, cultural, religious, linguistic, customary) and the consciousness of us in relationship to them . “Multiculturalism” refers to a philosophy or social thinking reactive to cultural uniformity or assimilation and to a model of public policy in which the state plays an active part in the defense of minority rights and cultural div…
Linguistic Cultural Capital among Descendants of Mixed Couples in Catalonia, Spain: Realities and Inequalities
Spain, along with the region of Catalonia in particular, has seen a significant increase in mixed unions between immigrants and natives, which, in turn, has given rise to a growing number of young people with mixed origins. Yet little is known about how these mixed families and individuals negotiate cultural differences and view their ‘mixed cultural capital.’ Drawing on 29 in-depth interviews with youth of diverse mixed cultural, racial, and rel…
Preference and prejudice: Does intermarriage erode negative ethno-racial attitudes between groups in Spain
This paper challenges the idea – rooted in classic assimilation theory – that intermarriage clearly erodes social and ethno-racial boundaries and negative attitudes between groups. Drawing on narratives from 58 immigrants of seven different origin countries residing in Catalonia, Spain, who are in romantic partnerships with Spanish-born people, we focus on preferences and prejudices related to mixing. We find that the members of exogamous couples…

The data presented draw on ninety-four in-depth interviews conducted with immigrants of seven different origins in exogamous (mixed) and endogamous (same-origin) unions in Catalonia, the region with the highest rate of immigration and ethno-racial diversity in Spain. We apply a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitativ…
