<P>As the racial hierarchy shifts and inequality between Americans widens, it is important to understand the impact of social class on the rapidly growing multiracial population. <EM>Multiracial Americans and Social Class</EM> is the first book on multiracial Americans to do so and fills a noticeable void in a growing market. </P>

In doing so, they answer the following questions: Who is multiracial? How does class influence racial identity? How does&nbsp;social class status&nbsp;vary among multiracial populations?&nbsp;Do you need to be middle class in order to be an "honorary white"? What is the relationship between social class,&nbsp;culture, and race? How does the influence of social class compare across multiracial backgrounds? What are multiracial Americans' explanations for racial inequality in the United States? </P>
<P><EM>Multiracial Americans and Social Class</EM> is a key text for undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, and academics in the fields of sociology, race and ethnic studies, social stratification, race relations, and cultural studies.</P>
