Offering an approach to the study of citizenship, nationhood, and race, this title explores how racial mixture challenged and sometimes changed the boundaries that defined what it meant to be American. It reveals how ambiguous status of racially mixed people underscored the problematic nature of policies and practices based on racial boundaries.
