Crafting Identities in Interracial Families

University of Queensland, Australia, c.luke{at}mailbox.uq.edu.au

This article examines the relationships between multiple migrant travels and identity (re)formations among interracial families. Data are drawn from a qualitative study of 60 interracial Australian families with one partner of identifiable Indo-Asian descent. The data reveal how couples cope with racializing practices within immediate and extended families and the local community; and how ‘passing’, ‘crossing’ and ‘estrangements’ constitute transformational mobilities and movement in identity formation and in the everyday fabric of interracial family life.

Key Words: cultural hybridity • diaspora • estrangement • identity • migration • ‘race’
