Hi folks...
Just finished reading an essay collection I thought
might be appropriate for your site...which looks great, by the way....
Mixing It Up: Multiracial Subjects, ed.
SanSan Kwan and Kenneth Spiers, foreword by Naomi Zack. Austin: U of Texas, P, 2004
A lot of the essays are responding
explicitly to the 2000 census and its "new" categories, and then jumping off into ways that multiple identities
are mediated by media, psychology, culture...they are particularly adept at negotiating the personal with the political and
the academic...
cheers,
Randi

Hi Lisa,
I
met you at NOA (last year maybe??) in North Carolina. I was with a group
of other mostly young organizers
from FIERCE and we were talking about sustainablity within organizing. I was the black girl with the curly fro.
I wanted to let you know that I left FUREE in October in order to salvage my health and sanity. Now I work part-time
at ALP around police, state, and hate violence. And spend the remainder of the time figuring out how to deal with some
stress related health issues. An email about busting binaries came across my email and I wanted to holla and say the website
looks great and to keep up the good work. Over the last year I've remembered a lot about that conversation and realized
a lot of what you said firsthand, that no one would take care of my personal health but myself.
I hope you're
well.
Take Care of Yourself.
In Struggle,
Ejeris
