Shape Shifters: Journeys across Terrains of Race and Identity: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Shape Shifters: Journeys across Terrains of Race and Identity" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
The essays in Shape Shifters explore different historical eras and reach across the globe, from the Roman and Chinese borderlands of classical antiquity to medieval Eurasian shape shifters, the Native peoples of the missions of Spanish California, and racial shape shifting among African Americans in the postcivil rights era. At different times in their lives or over generations in their families, racial shape shifters have moved from one social context to another. And as new social contexts were imposed on them, identities have even changed from one group to another. This is not racial, ethnic, or religious imposture. It is simply the way that peoples lives unfold in fluid sociohistorical circumstances.
With contributions by Ryan Abrecht, George J. Snchez, Laura Moore, and Margaret Hunter, among others, Shape Shifters explores the forces of migration, borderlands, trade, warfare, occupation, colonial imposition, and the creation and dissolution of states and empires to highlight the historically contingent basis of identification among mixed-race peoples across time and space.

The essays in this field-shaping work on shape shifters in world history are breathtaking in their breadth and fresh insights, challenging readers to think in provocative new ways about race, social mobility, and belonging from the borderlands of the ancient world to our own border-crossing moment.
Samuel Truett, associate professor of history at the University of New Mexico
In Shape Shifters we are transported on a journey through mixed-race times and spaces that we always wanted to visit but never had the opportunity to do so.... Shape Shifters goes well beyond the passing trope to examine fascinating contexts and identity changes. It explores the diverse transformations in these identities, the many different reasons for those changes, and the variety of means by which they happen. It is destined to be a key text in critical mixed-race studies.
Rebecca King-ORiain, senior lecturer in the Department of Sociology at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth
Through a variety of cutting-edge case studies that stretch from ancient China to the current United States, Shape Shifters offers a kaleidoscope of fresh vantage points from which to rethink the enduring riddle of identity. The contributors bring to life a diverse array of border-crossers, tricksters, and chameleons who previously remained hidden from view but who could not be more important or more timely to our present-day discussions of race and ethnicity.
Karl Jacoby, author of The Strange Career of William Ellis: The Texas Slave Who Became a Mexican Millionaire
This is a smart, captivating, and groundbreaking book. It takes up the long-standing racial passing trope, stretching it to its limit and ultimately ripping it apart. [Shape Shifters] offers a welcome, deep critique of notions of imposture, authenticity, and appropriation. The books interdisciplinary approach beautifully shows the intricacies and nuances of shape shifting. Indispensable reading for those interested in race, ethnicity, border-crossing, gender, and world history.
