However, I go beyond a separate analysis of categories, analyzing the interrelation of different dimensions of mixedness. In taking up tree situations (racialization, language practices and othering due to religious affiliation), I show how mixed individuals may change their position from visibility and invisibility and vice versa in different situations and contexts. It is argued that mixedness is are a relational phenomenon depending not only on markers such as ‘race’, ethnicity and religion but also on their interplay with gender, class, language and biographical experiences.</div><div style="text-align: start; text-indent: 0px;">The article is on open access here:<a href="https://www.mdpi.com/2313-5778/6/2/30" class=""> https://www.mdpi.com/2313-5778/6/2/30</a> </div><div style="text-align: start; text-indent: 0px;"><font face="Arial" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div style="text-align: start; text-indent: 0px;"><font face="Arial" class="">And finally, I would like to point to my thesis published last summer by Barbara Budrich <b class="">„Binationae Herkunft und Zugehörigkeit.
