  • The layers and variety of mixed-heritage experiences

    C A Liebler, Miri Song•ARTICLE•Ethnic and Racial Studies•2026

    In this rejoinder, we engage with many important points raised by the contributors to this book symposium on Mixed Heritage in the Family. In doing so, we reiterate some of the key innovations and findings of our book and reflect upon the direction of future research on mixed-heritage people

  • The Double-Edged Nature of Whiteness for Multiracial People with White Ancestry in the US and UK

    Open Access•Miri Song•ARTICLE•Genealogy•2025•Citada por: 1•Referências: 36

    The privileges of Whiteness have been theorized and debated for some decades. Because White privilege has been manifested, historically, in myriad forms, it has been possible to treat the privileges of Whiteness as a given, even when its changing manifestations are acknowledged. The continuing growth of multiracial people with White ancestry in the US (and other societies) provides an opportunity for scholars to rethink what we mean by White priv…

  • “Superdiversity”

    Open Access•Miri Song•ARTICLE•Ethnic and Racial Studies•2023

    This book is devoted to the various ways in which superdiversity has been understood and employed by others. Given the runaway success of the term “superdiversity”, it is not surprising that this term has been used and interpreted in many different ways. One key appeal of theorizing on superdiversity is that, as Vertovec argues, the explanatory power of extant theories of migration are compromised by the ever-changing landscape it seeks to captur…

  • The bi-directional impact of a mixed union. People without a migration background in a union with a partner with a migration background

    Open Access•Maurice Crul, Frans Lelie et al.•ARTICLE•New Community•2023•Citada por: 4•Referências: 45

    Of the BaM respondents in a relation, no less than a quarter is in a mixed union. We still know very little about the non-migrant partner in unions with a partner with a migration background, including their propensity to adopt the cultural practices of their partner, and their propensity to reach out and embrace ethnic diversity more generally. The growth of intimate relationships between people with and without a migration background in majorit…

  • What Motivates Mixed Heritage People to Assert Their Ancestries

    Open Access•Miri Song, C A Liebler•ARTICLE•Genealogy•2022•Citada por: 2•Referências: 24

    Research on mixed heritage people has often focused on their reported race(s) and what these self-reports may reveal about their racial leanings. In the U.S., people are also asked: “What is this person’s ancestry or ethnic origin?” as a census fill-in-the-blank question. Existing research has analyzed the census data on race and ancestry and has uncovered meanings about ethnicity among White Americans, but little is known about the importance of…

  • Interrogating the 'White-Leaning' Thesis of White-Asian Multiracials

    Open Access•Kelly H Chong, Miri Song•ARTICLE•Social Sciences•2022•Citada por: 10•Referências: 48

    The study of multiracial people in the United States has typically focused on the experiences of Black-White racially-mixed individuals. In this article, we review and analyze the theoretical and evidence base for the White-leaning characterization of Asian-White multiracials. Historically, Asian Americans have been positioned as a "racial middle" group in relation to White and Black Americans. In line with this perceived racial position, Asian-W…

  • Who counts as multiracial

    Miri Song•ARTICLE•Ethnic and Racial Studies•2021

    Who counts as multiracial? The answer to this question – while never straightforward in the past – is becoming ever more complicated and contested. Given the very significant growth of people with racially mixed ancestries, there has been surprisingly little written about who “counts” as multiracial per se. There is no one definitive measure or definition of multiracial status across multi-ethnic societies that share many discourses of race, such…

  • Is there evidence of 'whitening' for Asian/White multiracial people in Britain

    Miri Song•ARTICLE•New Community•2021•Citada por: 14•Referências: 46

    Growing rates of interracial unions in multi-ethnic societies such as Britain are notable, and point to significant changes in the blurring and possibly shifting nature of ethnic and racial boundaries. Asian Americans who partner with White Americans are assumed to engage in ‘whitening’ – both in terms of their aspirations and their social consequences. Yet little is still known about the aftermath of intermarriage, even in the USA. Drawing on th…

  • Rethinking minority status and ‘visibility’

    Open Access•Miri Song•ARTICLE•Comparative Migration Studies•2020•Citada por: 20•Referências: 35

    Historically, minority status has been linked with visibility as a non-White person, and such phenotypical visibility has marked people in terms of racial stigmas and discrimination. But definitions and claims to minority status are increasingly complicated (and contested) by immigration and the growth of multiracial people, many of whom are racially ambiguous, and some of whom look White. As the multiracial population in various multi-ethnic soc…

  • Why we still need to talk about race

    Miri Song•ARTICLE•Ethnic and Racial Studies•2018

    While the use of the term ‘racism’ is more ubiquitous than ever, many official bodies and people shrink from the concept of ‘race’. Our understandings of racism are increasingly divorced from historical understandings of race and racial difference. This reluctance to use the term race, especially in official surveys and other forms of data collection, is problematic, as it makes it difficult to differentiate among disparate kinds of ethnic and ra…

  • Multiracial Parents

    Miri Song•BOOK•Multiracial Parents•2018

    While there has been significant growth in studies of “multiracial,” or “mixed-race,” individuals, very few have investigated the experiences of the descendants of multiracial individuals—the so-called multigeneration multiracials. As interracial unions and disparate types of multiracial people continue to increase in many societies, what effect does this have on our understanding of racial categories and boundaries? How do multiracial people thi…

  • Learning From Your Children

    Open Access•Miri Song•ARTICLE•Emerging Adulthood•2018

    Despite the growing importance of racially mixed people and families in Britain, in demographic terms, relatively little is known about the life experiences of multiracial people at disparate stages of their lives, as most studies focus on their identifications at one point in time. In fact, we know very little about how multiracial people are influenced by the life-changing events of partnering and becoming a parent: How may multiracial people’s…

  • A spotlight on "established", as opposed to "newcomer", Americans

    Miri Song•ARTICLE•Ethnic and Racial Studies•2018•Citada por: 1•Referências: 6

    By elaborating upon the idea of "relational assimilation", Tomas Jimenez alters the dominant lens through which social scientists, and especially sociologists, have understood the concept of assimilation and the effects of immigration. In this highly readable and thoughtful book, we are asked to conceive of this kind of assimilation as one which involves "the give-and-take of adjustment", not just a one-way route by which "newcomers" must adapt t…

  • "Generational change and how we conceptualize and measure multiracial people and "mixture

    Miri Song•ARTICLE•Ethnic and Racial Studies•2017•Citada por: 10•Referências: 22

    Until relatively recently, in countries such as the U.S.A. and U.K., individuals could only opt for "single race" categories with which they identified. However, in the 2000 decennial census, respondents in the U.S. were able to choose more than one racial category, while in 2001, a "Mixed" box (with further subcategories) was provided in the England and Wales census for the first time. But the very success of this racial project in these countri…

  • Toward building a conceptual framework on intermarriage

    Open Access•Sayaka Osanami Törngren, Nahikari Irastorza et al.•ARTICLE•Ethnicities•2016•Citada por: 38•Referências: 79

    Increasing migration worldwide and the cultural diversity generated as a consequence of international migration has facilitated the unions of people from different countries, religions, races, and ethnicities. Such unions are often celebrated as a sign of integration; however, at the same time as they challenge people's idea of us and them, intermarriages in fact still remain controversial, and even to some extent, taboo in many societies. Resear…

  • Multiracial people and their partners in Britain

    Open Access•Miri Song•ARTICLE•Ethnicities•2016•Citada por: 17•Referências: 20

    There are now a growing number of studies on intermarriage in Western multi-ethnic societies, especially in countries with post-colonial migrants (and their descendants). Intermarriage is of great interest to analysts because a group’s tendency to partner across ethnic boundaries is a key indicator of the social distance between groups in a multi-ethnic society. However, theorizing on intermarriage is typically premised upon the union (usually) o…

  • Can there be a truly systematic and comprehensive theory of race

    Miri Song•ARTICLE•Ethnic and Racial Studies•2016•Citada por: 1•Referências: 8

    In this ambitious new book, Mustafa Emirbayer and Matthew Desmond contend that there has never been a truly comprehensive and systematic theory of race. They go on to argue that 'Much of our best work no longer tells us how to understand or reconstruct racial dynamics but simply gives us concrete proof of their continuing significance' (3). To what extent does The Racial Order theoretically advance existing theorizing of race? An important contri…

  • What are the parenting practices of multiracial people in Britain

    Miri Song, Caitlin O''Neill Gutierrez et al.•ARTICLE•Ethnic and Racial Studies•2016•Citada por: 9•Referências: 24

    Since 'mixed' was first offered as an option in the ethnicity question in the 2001 England and Wales Census, Britain's recognition of, and interest in, mixed (or 'multiracial') people and families has not abated. Recent studies have focused primarily upon how mixed people identify themselves, or how parents racially identify their multiracial children. But Britain now has a population of multiracial individuals who are themselves parents, about w…

  • Keeping the Story Alive

    Open Access•Miri Song, Caitlin O''Neill Gutierrez et al.•ARTICLE•The Sociological Review•2015•Citada por: 23•Referências: 16

    This paper explores how multiracial parents with White partners articulate narratives of ethnic and racial 'dilution' and cultural loss in relation to the socialization of their children. In our broader study of how multiracial parents raise their children, we found that parents commonly spoke of concerns around dilution and generational change in relation to four key themes: the loss of cultural knowledge and diminishing practices that connected…

    Open Access•Miri Song•ARTICLE•British Journal of Sociology•2014•Citada por: 70•Referências: 30

    We live at a time when our understandings and conceptualizations of 'racism' are often highly imprecise, broad, and used to describe a wide range of racialized phenomena. In this article, I raise some important questions about how the term racism is used and understood in contemporary British society by drawing on some recent cases of alleged racism in football and politics, many of which have been played out via new media technologies.

  • Is Intermarriage a Good Indicator of Integration

    Miri Song•ARTICLE•New Community•2009•Citada por: 108•Referências: 47

    In this paper I review and examine the assumed link between intermarriage and integration. I focus primarily on literature from the US and Britain. Intermarriage is said to signal a significant lessening of ‘social distance’ between a minority group and the White majority, enabling unions between groups which would previously have been taboo. It is often assumed that intermarriage for ethnic minorities is the ultimate litmus test of integration, …

    The last few decades have witnessed a notable growth in literature addressing the politics and ethics of social research. Much of this literature has stressed difference between the researcher and the interviewee, and has addressed the importance of sensitising researchers to the difficulties and dilemmas encountered in in-depth interviewing crossing sex, class, and race boundaries. We argue that an examination of the cultural identities of the r…

    Why do claims about racial hierarchy matter? The question whether some groups are worse off than others is highly pertinent at a time when there is growing recognition of multiple forms of racisms and racial oppression. It is widely accepted that racial hierarchies are still with us today, and this concept is peppered throughout writings on ''race'' and racisms, but, what, exactly, are racial hierarchies, how do racial hierarchies continue to mat…

  • Is racial mismatch a problem for young ‘mixed race’ people in Britain? The findings of qualitative research

    Open Access•Miri Song, P J Aspinall et al.•ARTICLE•Ethnicities•2012•Citada por: 38•Referências: 39

    Recent evidence concerning the racial identifications of ‘mixed race’ people suggests growing latitude in how they may identify. In this article, we examine whether mixed race young people believe that their chosen identifications are validated by others, and how they respond to others’ racial perceptions of them. While existing studies tend to assume that a disjuncture between self-identification and others’ perceptions of them is problematic, t…

  • What happens after segmented assimilation? An exploration of intermarriage and 'mixed race' young people in Britain

    Theorizing on segmented assimilation has usefully spurred debate about the experiences and positions of the second generation in the US, and more recently, Europe. This theory has focused primarily on how young people fare in secondary schooling, and the crucial role that families and ethnic social networks can play in supporting second generation individuals. But what happens when young people, who have experienced selective acculturation, leave…

In recent years, a large body of scholarship, both in the US and Britain, has begun to investigate the diverse social experiences and racial identifications of mixed people. In this article, I investigate the ways in which mixed siblings…

  • What Does 'White' Mean? Interpreting the Choice of 'Race' by Mixed Race Young People in Britain

    Despite the often cited idea that racial identities are socially constructed, and potentially fluid, much public policy is still based on surveys that elicit only one measure of racial identity. A number of U.S. studies have employed 'best single race' questions on racial identification, in which multiracial respondents are asked to choose only one race to describe themselves. We extend some American studies by examining responses to a 'best sing…

Our analysis of these two web sites shows how collective identities still matter, bein…

    Racial hierarchies are systems of stratification premised upon the belief that some racial groups are either superior or inferior to other racial groups. A racial hierarchy in which white Europeans were deemed innately superior to all other “races” in virtually every respect was crucial for imperialist expansion in all parts of the world, as well as for the creation and practice of slavery. Without the stated belief that white people are superior…

  • Inclusion, Participation and the Emergence of British Chinese Websites

    David S Parker, David Parker et al.•ARTICLE•New Community•2007•Citada por: 21•Referências: 23

    Previous work has drawn attention to the relative absence of British Chinese voices in \npublic culture. No one is more aware of this invisibility than British-born Chinese people \nthemselves. Since 2000 the emergence of Internet discussion sites produced by British \nChinese young people has provided an important forum for many of them to grapple \nwith questions concerning their identities, experiences and status in Britain. In this paper \nwe…

  • New Ethnicities and the Internet

    David S Parker, David Parker et al.•ARTICLE•Cultural Studies•2009

    Stuart Hall's observation that '..identity is formed at that point where the unspeakable stories of subjectivity meet the narratives of history, of a culture.' (Hall 1987, 'Minimal Selves', in Identity: The Real Me, ICA, London, p. 44) has inspired much of our previous exploration of the lives of second generation Chinese young people in Britain. In this work we have drawn attention to the relative absence of British Chinese voices in public cult…

  • Is Intermarriage a Good Indicator of Integration

    Miri Song•ARTICLE•New Community•2009•Citada por: 108•Referências: 47

    In this paper I review and examine the assumed link between intermarriage and integration. I focus primarily on literature from the US and Britain. Intermarriage is said to signal a significant lessening of ‘social distance’ between a minority group and the White majority, enabling unions between groups which would previously have been taboo. It is often assumed that intermarriage for ethnic minorities is the ultimate litmus test of integration, …

  • Is there ‘a’ mixed race group in Britain? The diversity of multiracial identification and experience

    Open Access•Miri Song, Miri Song Miri Song•ARTICLE•Critical Social Policy•2010•Citada por: 16•Referências: 23

    In contemporary British society, references to ‘mixed race’ people and to various forms of mixing abound. But to what extent can we say that there is ‘a’ mixed race group in Britain today? If such a group exists, what commonalities underlie the experience of being mixed? In addressing this question, I draw on a study of the racial identifications of different types of mixed young people in Britain. I find that the meanings and significance of rac…

  • Does 'Race' Matter? A Study of 'Mixed Race' Siblings' Identifications

    Open Access•Miri Song•ARTICLE•The Sociological Review•2010•Citada por: 21•Referências: 23

    Mixed' people comprise one of the fastest growing populations in Britain today, and their growth refutes the idea that there exist distinct, 'natural' races among people in multiethnic societies, such as Britain. In recent years, a large body of scholarship, both in the US and Britain, has begun to investigate the diverse social experiences and racial identifications of mixed people. In this article, I investigate the ways in which mixed siblings…

  • What Does 'White' Mean? Interpreting the Choice of 'Race' by Mixed Race Young People in Britain

    Open Access•Miri Song, Ferhana Hashem•ARTICLE•Sociological Perspectives•2010•Citada por: 15•Referências: 17

    Despite the often cited idea that racial identities are socially constructed, and potentially fluid, much public policy is still based on surveys that elicit only one measure of racial identity. A number of U.S. studies have employed 'best single race' questions on racial identification, in which multiracial respondents are asked to choose only one race to describe themselves. We extend some American studies by examining responses to a 'best sing…

  • What happens after segmented assimilation? An exploration of intermarriage and 'mixed race' young people in Britain

    Miri Song•ARTICLE•Ethnic and Racial Studies•2010•Citada por: 23•Referências: 30

    Theorizing on segmented assimilation has usefully spurred debate about the experiences and positions of the second generation in the US, and more recently, Europe. This theory has focused primarily on how young people fare in secondary schooling, and the crucial role that families and ethnic social networks can play in supporting second generation individuals. But what happens when young people, who have experienced selective acculturation, leave…

  • Part of the British mainstream? British Muslim students and Islamic Student Associations

    Miri Song•ARTICLE•Journal of Youth Studies•2011•Citada por: 7•Referências: 6

    In recent years, fear of ‘the other’ has focused particularly on ‘home grown’ second-generation Muslims. In the aftermath of the 7 July 2005 bombings in London, there was particular horror and incredulity expressed about the fact that many of the bombers had been born and raised in Britain, and universities have been increasingly regarded by various analysts and politicians as potential ‘hotbeds of extremism.’ Yet apart from sensationalistic imag…
