Williams, Teresa Kay – Amerasia Journal, 1997

Ropp, Steven Masami – Amerasia Journal, 1997
Draws on the experiences of people of Asian descent in the United States and the Caribbean to argue that the biological fact of being of mixed race does not reduce the social significance of race. The assumption that racial mixing leads to a raceless society is inaccurate. (SLD)

The multiracial experience continues to expand the dynamic construction of Asian identity. (SLD)
