Abstract

In a society concerned with 'racial' purity and anxious to protect 'racial' boundaries
people of mixed parentage are presumed to experience pressure, internal and external,
to be aware of 'racial' differences and their own perceived ambiguous position. Some
commentators believe that people of mixed parentage 'do not fit' into society If only
they would pretend to be 'like the rest of us' then everyone would be happy There are
few, if any, representations of coherent identities.
The main concern of my research is to discover the factors which influence the
development of racial(ised) identity in people of mixed parentage. An understanding
of personal and social identity is an important part of my research I investigate how
people of mixed parentage express their racial(ised) identity and question whether
racial(ised) identity formation is ever really finished.
