Shades of Gray

"McKibbin's book contributes to recent efforts—in and beyond the academy—to rethink identity politics, promote social justice, and build inclusive communities."—Tru Leverette, MELUS "In this groundbreaking study of multiracialism, McKibbin . . . explores recent criticism and contemporary autobiography and fiction. . . . The author understands the political implications of her subject, and she explores President Obama's role in the reformation of concepts of mixed-race individuals. This provocative book is cautious in its claims, acknowledging that current awareness is still in its early stages and has not yet been fully incorporated into the nation's general consciousness."—T.P. Riggio, Choice "McKibben's analysis . . . highlights the emerging multicultural discourses occurring within these groups that may help to push the US toward more expansive understandings of these ever-present identities."—Wendy Braun, Spectrum “Shades of Gray deepens our understanding of how race and multiracial identities are evolving and enriches efforts to frame these evolving identities in theoretically sound and productive ways.”—Carlton D. Floyd, associate professor of English at the University of San Diego
