Troubling the Family argues that the emergence of multiracialism duringthe 1990s was determined by underlying and unacknowledged gender norms. Opening with a germinal moment for multiracialism--the popular appearance of Tiger Woods in 1997--Habiba Ibrahim examines how the shifting status of racial hero makes sense only by means of an account of masculinity.
