    About this ebook

    From beloved writer and artist Kip Fulbeck, author of Part Asian, 100% Hapa, this timely collection of portraits celebrates the faces and voices of mixed-race children. At a time when 7 million people in the U.S. alone identify as belonging to more than one race, interest in issues of multiracial identity is rapidly growing. Overflowing with uplifting elements—including charming images, handwritten statements from the children, first-person text from their parents, a foreword by Dr. Maya Soetoro-Ng (President Obama's sister), and an afterword by international star Cher (who is part Cherokee)—this volume is an inspiring vision of the future.

      A delightful, compact book of color photographs featuring multiracial children, some of whom are a veritable jambalaya of cultures (Cambodian-French-Romanian-Scottish-Native American-African American, anyone???). These lovely faces remind me of the many kids I see at work and walking down the street. It is a good reminder, too, never to take a face at...well, face value. There may be a lot more to the person underneath.

Barclay, Jonathan Cecil, Cher, Kayla Coleman, Fanshen Cox, Veronica De La Cruz, Heidi Durrow, Stuart Gaffney, Manny Garcia, Colin Gardner, Jim Goldberg, Stephen Gong, Mariko Gordon, Jocelyn Gottesman, Morgan Harris, Robert Horsting, Yumi Kinoshita, Christian Kasseck, Stacey Kwon, Robert Lee, Naomi Melo, Dan The Nazz Nazzareta, Betty Nguyen, Ben Northover, Joannie Osato, Michella Rivera-Gravage, Jennifer Ruiz, Yasamin Salari, Katy Schwager, Joel Sherman, Karen Spector, Kellie Stoelting, Shannon Sun-Higginson, Ken Tanabe, Joshua Thomas, Derrick Velasquez, Charmaine Wash, Angela Williams, and Don Young.

    Thanks again to the spectacular crew at Chronicle Books, with bonus thanks to Jessica Hulce, Eloise Leigh, Becca Cohen, Patti Quill, and my simpatico editor, Bridget Watson Payne. Thanks to my super assistants, Jill Carlson, Lindsay Castro, and Melissa Ortiz, who made up for my forgetfulness more times than I can count. Thanks to my literary agent, Faye Bender, and my booking agents, Andy Roth and Erica Langston, for believing in me as an artist. Thanks to the staff at the Japanese American National Museum, especially Lisa Sasaki, Clement Hanami, and Koji Sakai; my colleagues in the UCSB Art Department; my fellow artists who continue to challenge and expand the definitions of who we are; and my many academic contemporaries advancing multiethnic research, particularly Paul Spickard, Reg Daniel, Wei Ming Dariotis, Rudy Guevarra, Velina Hasu Houston, Evelyn Hu-Dehart, Laura Kina, Cindy Nakashima, Darby Li Po Price, Curtiss Takada Rooks, Kieu Linh Valverde, and Teresa Kay Williams-León. Thanks to my teachers, especially Phel Steinmetz, David Antin, Eleanor Antin, Georgia Florentine, Allan Kaprow, Robyn Hunt, Jim Lin, Lisa Lowe, and Martha Rosler; and of course my students, who ground and check me on a daily basis.

    Thanks to my family, especially my parents, who had the good sense to follow love above legality; to the hundreds of parents who allowed me the privilege of photographing their children; and to all the kids who cut loose and took part in this whole thing (you guys were the coolest part). Special thanks to my righthand man Michael Velasquez, whose artistic skills grace each of these pages, and to Maya Soetoro-Ng, for continuing to inspire people throughout the world. I could not have made this book without the strength, criticism, and support
