“…To illustrate this point, take, for example, people who exist in ambiguous racial space, whether intentionally or not. These people may essentially have to deny parts of their racial or ethnic heritage (McNeil, 2010); conversely, they may also feel both internal and external pressure constantly to present the image and identity of the utopic mixed-race person (see Gilroy, 2000, 2010). In addition, they may be subject to, witness, or participate in racial/multiracial microaggressions—the intentional or unintentional, explicit or implicit actions and remarks that invalidate or demean one’s multiracial heritage—as forms of monoracism, or the system of oppression based on the “the assumptions and beliefs in singular, discrete racial categories” (Johnston & Nadal, 2010, p. 125).…”

Critically investigating the concept of community, this article explores some of the ideological and epistemological frameworks that have defined both the potentialities and the limitations of community as a liberatory and/or liberated space. This article sheds light on how ambiguously identified, bodied, and placed people are affected by cultures and systems of oppression in ways that create unique tensions with community and generate knowledge of the meaning of community itself. The major foci include the transgression, occupation, and policing of racial, gendered, and sexualized borders. In the final section, emerging questions, reflections, and implications for the field of social welfare are discussed.

“…Of the research that has been carried out, with few exceptions (Joseph-Salisbury, 2016; Joseph-Salisbury and Andrews, 2017), research specifically focusing on Black mixed-race men is notably absent. This is perhaps unsurprising given that the ‘Mixed Race Movement’ that arose in the 1990s has been critiqued for being primarily concerned with mixed-race women (Christian, 2000; McNeil, 2010; Small, 2001).…”

Historically and contemporarily, popular discourses have pathologised Black mixed-race men as the embodiment of a 'clash of cultures'. In centring the voices of Black mixed-race men in the UK and the US, this article offers a refutation to these discourses.With a specific focus on secondary schooling, the article draws upon accounts from semistructured interviews in order to demonstrate how Black mixed-race men perceive their families to offer a source of strength and support. In order to understand how the family supports Black mixed-race men in overcoming the challenges posed by a hostile, 'post-racial' white supremacist environment, I develop a conceptualisation of 'post-racial' resilience. This article demonstrates how Black mixed-race men perceive their families to take on myriad and diverse approaches to schooling, identity formation, and experiences of racism. In so doing, the article seeks to add to the growing body of research that has debunked the aforementioned mythical racialised and racist view of the families of Black mixed-race men (Song 2015). As will be argued, Black mixed-race families are potential sites for the cultivation of creative and innovative strategies that aid the 'post-racial' resilience of Black mixed-race men.Despite the growth of Critical Mixed Race Studies (CMRS), the literature on mixed-race populations remains relatively underdeveloped (Daniel et al., 2014). Of the research that has been carried out, with few exceptions (Author A, 2016; Author A and co-author, 2016), research specifically focusing on Black mixed-race men is a notable absence. This is perhaps unsurprising given that the 'Mixed Race Movement' that arose in the 1990s has been critiqued for being primarily concerned with mixed-race women (Christian, 2000;McNeil, 2010;Small, 2001) Similarly, despite research highlighting how families develop strategies to deal with racism (Ward, 1996), research exploring the role that families can play in the lives of their mixedrace children is relatively limited. Much of the early scholarship is now outdated, social-work orientated, and/or based upon clinical samples (Banks, 1995;Boushel, 1996;Maximé, 1993;Owusu-Bempah, J. 1994). While most contemporary CMRS research has focused on Black/white mixedness (perhaps neglecting other mixed-race groups), it has mostly focused on either individuals or their parents with few studies drawing the two experiences together.A notable exception is Bauer's (2010) ethnographic study of mixed race families in London.With that study focusing on the period between 1953 and 2003, the current study -situated in a post-racial context -might be seen to build upon that work. In the context of the current
