Title: Half and Half is engaging and insightful
Product review: This collection of essays from well known contemporary "ethnic" writers takes the reader through myriad of racial and cultural "combinations" and the results of those combinations. For those who come from a bicultural or biracial background, you will find yourself nodding in agreement with some of the issues tackled by each of the authors. For those who are merely looking for a fascinating read, this book will open your mind to the issues that confront a sector of the American population which is often ignored or discounted. From the book, the reader senses how the need for us to categorize people neatly in racial/ethnic boxes can affect a whole generation of Americans who identify with 2 or more ethnic groups. This is a must read for people who want to stay in tune with the social trends of the ethnic potpourri that is the 90's.
