Abstract

An author, journalist and professor of journalism at Hofstra University, Zook is of both African- and Anglo-American background; she will share from both her research and her experience. How do you negotiate mixed-racial identities? If you’re half black and half white, that’s a question you may ask of yourself. And even if it’s not a question you ask of yourself, it’s a question others ask of you. The reality is in the U.S. of A, they’re going to look at your skin color and put you in a racial box. There is pressure on an individual to have to choose.
