With great pleasure, I accompanied Bonnie Davis on her learning journey to better understand the plight and perspective of biracial and multiracial students. Once again, she has enriched my understanding of the powerful intersection of race and schooling. Educators of all races will benefit from the personal narratives, prompts for self-examination, and provocative research she has compiled.

What does it mean to be in between?
As more biracial and multiracial students enter the classroom, educators have begun to critically examine the concept of race. Through compelling student and teacher narratives, best-selling author Bonnie M. Davis gives voice to a frequently mislabeled and misunderstood segment of the population. Filled with research-based instructional strategies and reflective questions, the book supports readers in examining:

  • The meaning of race, difference, and ethnicity
  • How mixed-identity students develop racial identities
  • How to adjust instruction to demonstrate cultural proficiency
  • Complex questions to help deepen understanding of bi- and multiracial experiences, white privilege, and the history of race in the U.S.
  • This sensitively written yet practical guide fills a gap in the professional literature by examining the experiences of biracial/multiracial students in the context of todays classrooms. The author calls upon readers to take a transformational journey toward racial literacy and, ultimately, become empowered by a real understanding of what it means to be biracial or multiracial and enable all students to experience increased self-confidence and believe in their ability to succeed.

    Acknowledgments

    T he more books I write, the more I learn how much I depend on others. First, thank you, Dan Alpert, my editor at Corwin. Dan is so exceptional: he knows when you need a phone call; he understands your feelings; and he gives you the feedback you need to succeed. Along with Dan, Mary Kim Schreck, friend and fellow author, offered me feedback and solace as she was writing her own book.

    Thanks to Kim Anderson. Kim first suggested I write a book in 2000, and then she did everything to make it happen. She formatted my writing, bound and printed it, and set up a Web site to promote it. For this book, too, she was there every step of the way.

    A big thanks goes out to Ruth Dambach, my sister, who has been by my side throughout the process of each of my books. She reads my writing, edits, formats, and ensures it all gets done. She is always there for me as are the rest of my familymy sisters, Susan and Mary, and my dad.

    Thanks to my dear friends who supported me during this process: Elizabeth Krekeler, Nan Starling, Julie Heifetz, Tina Lombardo, and Nancy Saguto. They patiently listened to me and offered advice when asked. Hugs to Dorothy Kelly, who contributed to my first book and continues to help me learn what I dont know I dont know.

    Thanks to Glenn Singleton and Curtis Linton for their groundbreaking work in the area of Courageous Conversations About Race. I have learned so much from them. Thanks also to the reviewers who read the draft and responded with comments that caused me to extensively revise the book. A special thanks to Randy Lindsey who took the time to meet with me and offer his sage advice.

    I have to acknowledge the team I have worked with in St. Louis since 1997 at Cooperating School Districts. Dennis Lubeck, Sheila Onuska, Sue Heggarty, Mike Grady, and Megan Moncure have provided a professional family for me through all the changes that have occurred in the last decade. Thank you!

    A very special thanks goes to all the individuals who contributed their narratives for the book and to those individuals, such as Charles Rankin, Jon Clark, Gloria Barajas, Jane Bannester, and Sarah Riss, who solicited students for me to interview. The book would not exist without the support of all of these individuals. These individuals shared personal and often-times private experiences so we could better learn about the lives of mixed-identity children and their families. You can find their names listed below. I am especially grateful to my son, Reeve, and his partner, Brenda, and to my daughter, Leah, for sharing their stories for moms book. Thank you. Last, but never least, thanks to Fred, my dancing partner in life.

    Thanks also to the Corwin team: Acquisitions Editor Dan Alpert, Associate Editor Megan Bedell, Production Editor Eric Garner, Copy Editor Jeannette McCoy, Typesetter C&M Digitals (P) Ltd., Proofreader Susan Schon, Indexer Sheila Bodell, and Cover Designer Rose Storey.
