Scattered Belongings Summary

Scattered Belongings: Cultural Paradoxes of Race, Nation and Gender by Jayne O. Ifekwunigwe

When the American golfer Tiger Woods proclaimed himself a Caublinasian, affirming his mixed Caucasian, Black, Native American and Asian ancestry, a storm of controversy was created. This book is about people faced by the strain of belonging and not belonging within the narrow confines of the terms 'Black' or 'White'.
This is a unique and radical study. It interweaves the stories of six women of mixed African/African Caribbean and white European heritage with an analysis of the concepts of hybridity and mixed race identity.
