Check All That Apply: Finding Wholeness as a Multiracial Person

Disclaimer: I am personally acquainted with the author. This was a phenomenal book. I was moved. I am not biracial, but rather bicultural, and suffer more because many look at my white face and standard American English and deny my primary culture. Again and again Sundee brought up points and ideas that I could viscerally relate to. I have experienced many of the same struggles, doubts, and sins (on my part) in response to a bicultural existence. Sundee has an easy, honest manner of writing which connects immediately with the reader. She writes directly from her close relationship with Jesus, without pretense or preachiness, but simply from her understanding of reality. She speaks with amazing openness about her difficulties being biracial and bicultural, and the profound joy and hope that brings her as well. Throughout she weaves this into the hope set before us in Jesus Christ, and how his Kingdom ideals are intertwined into an emerging polycultural world. Copiously foot-noted yet not oppressively so, this is a how-to manual of spiritual enlightenment. I would strongly recommend it to anyone who is biracial or bicultural. And even if you are not Christian, there is much here in the personal struggles and realizations of others like yourself that may prove greatly beneficial. Considering what's in this book, I am truly shocked that it doesn't have greater renown.

Great Book!! Bought it for my 26 year old son who is struggling with his black/white identity. Lot's of insight into every possible problem that comes from being interracial. Your not alone rings clear.

I'll check one box when it comes to this book: oustanding. As the mom of multiiracial children this book has given me insight to relate to how my kids might be feeling. And I enjoy how Frazier connects it all to faith. How can one's identity not have this connection if one believes in a Creator? I recommend this to all mulitracial people -- and everyone, for that matter. Our world grows more multiracial every day. We need to understand each other.

This is a great book where Frazier explores many of the issues that multiraical people deal with. She uses personal interviews with multiracial people as well as drawing on her own personal experience. Although I am not multiracial (I am black) I found it very insightful and it will help me to relate to multiracial people better. A must read for anyone who is multiracial or who cares about befriending them.
