Description - Scattered Belongings by Jayne O. Ifekwunigwe
When the American golfer Tiger Woods proclaimed himself a 'Caublinasian', affiming his mixed Caucasian, Black, Native American and Asian ancestry, a storm of controversy was created in a world still perceived in terms of 'black' and 'white'. This book is about ordinary lives similarly faced by the dilemmas of belonging and not belonging and about how the often painful experience of being a stranger in two cultures can be named and celebrated. Scattered Belongings weaves the poignant narratives of six women of both continental African/ African Caribbean and European parentage with a critical exploration of the cultural and historical roots of popular discourse on 'race'. With these stories of 'mixed race' identities as an important backdrop, Jayne O. Ifekwunigwe also analyzes the problems of theorizing 'mixed' racial and cultural identities in a global context.
