Critical race studies and critical mixed race studies reject uncritical assumptions about race and identity, focusing instead on the complexities of racialization and identity construction.
Rather than accepting the conventional definition of mixed race as merely a product of parentage, critical mixed race studies invite us to explore the politics and meanings beyond those definitions.
The emergence of 'mixed' and 'multiracial' identities during the mid-20th century marked a response to societal needs for recognition and representation in racial discussions.
Critical engagement with racial concepts pushes for deeper reflection on how race is not only constructed but also resisted, challenging historically dominant narratives.
