What does it mean to be mixed race in today's society?
In this powerful book, Natalie and Naomi Evans, founders of anti-racist advocacy and platform Everyday Racism, explore the complexities of mixed-race identities - from the discrimination endured by the 1.2 million mixed people in Britain and millions more elsewhere, to the privileges it can afford. Sharing their own personal experiences of growing up in Britain to illuminate the nuances of racial identity, the book also weaves in:
- Interviews with people from mixed backgrounds and in mixed relationships
- Research to dispel common myths and stereotypes
- Practical advice for mixed-race families and friendships
The Mixed-Race Experience will help you to recognise and confront the racism within your own family and communities, helping us all to deepen our intersectional awareness and commitment to allyship.

This book has choked me up. I would like to say thank you to the authors. I loved the woman in the book who said being mixed is a whole thing.. It is so important to hear that being mixed is enough and there's no need to pick a side: something I have struggled with my whole life
Jen B, Reviewer
This is the first book I've read that really dedicates its focus to the mixed-race experience, or experiences, because as the authors note, there is no one mixed-race reality, but a plurality of lives and stories. The approach is mostly through anecdotes of lived experience, with a little history and theory woven through for context, which feels like the right (and perhaps only) way to take on this topic.
It's a book about learning and acceptance, structured around practical tips for survival and support for living through systemic racism. There is something powerful and validating about the sharing of testimonies, and I loved how the authors let each person they interviewed really speak for themselves.
Highly recommended.
