Experiences and processes affecting racial identity development: preliminary results from the biracial sibling project.
نویسنده
چکیده
Siblings of mixed racial heritage often identify differently from one another.

These experiences were explored within the framework of the ecological model of racial identity development.

متن کاملSounding Black or White: priming identity and biracial speech
