Our family stories shape us. Individual, layered, and metafamily narratives about race act as socializing agents that teach family members about race, family, and the entanglements of these two institutions. The purpose of this study is to highlight the use of critical multiracial theory to analyze interracial family stories. In-depth interviews with 21 multiracial adults revealed that monoracism, racism, and colorism are useful tenets for analyzing encounters of racism within the family; combatting ahistoricism is a useful tenet for analyzing antimiscegenation and political stratification experiences; and (challenging) a monoracial paradigm of race is a useful tenet for analyzing multiracial individuals’ experiences of feeling forced into one racial category by some family members but supported to express their multiple races freely by others
