<p style="margin:0cm;background:white;box-sizing: inherit"><i><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Source Sans Pro",sans-serif;color:#393D41">Contributing to an emerging literature on mixed-race people in the United States and United Kingdom, this book
draws on racial formation theory and the performativity (i.e. “doing”) of race to explore the social construction of mixedness on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;background:white;box-sizing: inherit"><i><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Source Sans Pro",sans-serif;color:#393D41">In addition to macro- and micro-level theoretical frameworks, the authors use comparative and relational analytical
approaches to reveal similarities and differences between the two nations, explaining them in terms of both common historical roots as well as ongoing contemporary interrelationships.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;background:white;box-sizing: inherit"><i><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Source Sans Pro",sans-serif;color:#393D41">Focusing on the census, racial identity, civil society, and everyday experiences at the intersection of race,
gender, class, and sexuality, <em><span style="font-family:"Source Sans Pro",sans-serif">Mixed-Race in the US and UK: Comparing the Past, Present, and Future</span></em> offers academics and students an intriguing look into how mixed-race is constructed and
experienced within these two nations.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

from Nashville, TN, she received her Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin (UW)-Madison in 2014 and then taught as an Adjunct Visiting Professor at UW-River Falls before joining UAH in 2017.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm;background:white;box-sizing: inherit"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Source Sans Pro",sans-serif;color:#6A6C6E">Dr. Sims specializes in the study of race/ethnicity, social psychology, and gender and sexuality. Taking mixed-race
people as her main focus, her research examines racial construction, perception, and identity in the US and UK. She has conducted statistical analysis of survey data to examine perceptions of mixed-race attractiveness and qualitative interviews to study mixed-race
people’s everyday experiences. Her most recent work offers empirically grounded theoretical insights into mixed-race identity development (2016, 2018, 2019) and the influence of hairstyle on racial perception (2020).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
