It was fun to flip through this though I think it was less interesting, less funny, less touching... I guess for me just a generally lesser version of Part Asian, 100% Hapa.

Started reading this one while my awesome friendly neighborhood children's librarian was getting it ready to go out on the shelf. Beautiful photos, interesting little snippets of writing. It's time to recognize that we are all mixed, that you can't tell what someone is by looking at them, that a single label is neither accurate nor useful. I remember adding a check box for "human" on forms in the 80s.
It was interesting to be reading Mixed and Shiksa at the same time. Soetero-Ng talks about being a member of more than one world: sometimes, enjoying the flexibility of movement, sometimes, feeling inadequate everywhere, always missing the place you aren't in right now. It's good to see in print, for two such different audiences, the bald truth that we are all mixed and always have been.

Beautiful portraits and beautiful stories. I was so glad to find this new book by the author of Part Asian, 100% Hapa, that I bought it right away! Usually I wait until books appear at my local used bookstore or check them out of the library.
