Chapter Seventeen. Occupying third space: Hybridity and identity matrices in the multiracial experience

Brunsma, David L., Delgado, Daniel J.·2008·Hybrid Identities

Abstract

The vast bulk of this work focuses on investigating multiracials' racial identities, or their racial self-understandings. Here the author wishes to move away from the either/or approach to understanding multiracial identity - either general identity processes of multiracials or racial identity processes of multiracials - and move toward a both/and approach that recognizes the fullness of multiracial experience by studying the identity matrices of these hybrid multiracials in a multiracial third space. It is focussed on six predominant ones: social identities, political identities, cultural identities, physical identities (embodiment), and formal/institutional identities, and particularly the role of racial identity in each of these five identities. The respondents in this study had unique understandings of their political identities. The truly central question for this chapter also appeared in the Survey of Biracial Experience but has not been previously explored: Individuals have many different types of identities.

  • The Third Space can be both a location and a process that provides a place for the negotiation of identity constructions, structures and cultural systems of meaning such as race, gender and class.

  • The third space is a space of transgression, of potential social change, of dialogue, and of creativity, where constructions and myths are challenged and new subjectivities and collectivities are allowed to emerge.

  • What Lan Jie seems outraged about is not that Chinese food is eaten and cooked by non-Chinese people but that non-Chinese have begun to profit from cooking Chinese food, which serves as identity capital.

    “What Lan Jie seems to be outraged about is not that Chinese food is eaten and cooked by non-Chinese people but that the non-Chinese have begun to profit from cooking Chinese food which serves as an identity capital (Brunsma & Delgado, 2008).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
