Navigating Between Races: Mixed-race Literature’s Concern with Racial Spaces

Abstract: 

In a compilation by editors Marie Hara and Nora Okja Keller, Intersecting Circles: The Voices of Hapa Women in Poetry and Prose, mixed-race characters navigate between different racial spaces. Readers of these and other mixed-race works are encouraged to rethink traditional assumptions of race and ethnicity.
