Explores multiple arenas of interracial transgressions. Explores the complexities of interracial transgressions by analyzing the role of politics, law, policy, literature, film, geopolitics and vernacular discourse in the construction of interracial relationships, transracial contact zones and multiracial identities. Drawing from case studies in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, South Africa, Australia and Brazil, examines a wide variety of issues related to the construction of mixed-race as a social identity and mode of racial classification, and the potential for racial transgressions in areas of sex, love, friendship, media, dance, music and geography, paying particular attention to the complex relationships among race, gender, class, and sexuality.
