- Proud to be Mixed by Eve Ahmed: "Healthy children of any race suffer from the negative effects of divorce... For multiracial children, the biggest dilemma is that they are often deprived of direct exposure to one side of their racial heritage - often the minority side. Raising healthy and successful multiracial kids is a tricky business. It's a balance of raising them as normal, with the challenges and stages that all kids go through, plus a sensitive understanding of the negative, pervasive influences of a racist and single-race-conscious society."
