Mixed Race Identities in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands

This volume offers a southern, Pacific Ocean perspective on the topic of racial hybridity, exploring it through a series of case studies from around the Australo-Pacific region, a region unique as a result of its very particular colonial histories. Focusing on the interaction between race and culture, especially in terms of visibility and self-defined identity, and the particular characteristics of political, cultural and social formations in the countries of this region, the book explores the complexity of the lived mixed race experience, the structural forces of particular colonial and post-colonial environments and political regimes, and historical influences on contemporary identities and cultural expressions of mixed-ness.

Kirsten McGavin is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow (Anthropology) in the School of Social Science at the University of Queensland.

Farida Fozdar is an Associate Professor of Anthropology and Sociology at the University of Western Australia.
