Understanding multiethnic and multiracial experiences globally: Towards a conceptual framework of mixedness

This special issue brings together nine articles on the experiences of
multiracial and multiethnic individuals from nine different countries
across the globe – the United Kingdom, Sweden, Ireland, Spain,
Canada, the United States, Japan, Singapore and Israel. The articles
in this volume address the diverse experiences of the
identification, socialising and mainstreaming of multiethnic and
multiracial individuals in different national contexts. The collection
consists of both qualitative and quantitative research from various
disciplines in the social sciences and thus contributes to an
interdisciplinary understanding and a multi-method approach to
this reality. Through a cross-country analysis of the results provided
by each paper, this Introduction proposes a conceptual framework
for better understanding the realities of mixedness globally.
