About this book

The world and its politics are becoming ever more polarised, leaving no room for the light and the shade. In The Half of It, Emma and Nicole explore race and identity through the lens of the mixed-race experience, creating a space for discussion and illuminating the true nuances of the mixed-race identity.

In The Half of It, Emma and Nicole, hosts of the critically acclaimed podcast Mixed Up, discuss what it truly means to be mixed-race. They delve into everything from culture and identity to interracial relationships, to adoption, to understanding the historical context of mixed-race people – ultimately culminating in a rounder and deeper appreciation for the mixed-identity.

Emma and Nicole want to break down barriers and open up a deeper dialogue of the mixed-race experience. Although this book was born out of a desire to speak directly to the mixed-race community, they discovered there is something in it for everyone. Whether you are mixed, you know someone mixed, if you have ever considered dating outside of your race, if you're a parent committed to sharing a more diverse view of the world with your child, or indeed an adult wanting to expand your views on culture and identity – then The Half of It is for you.
