DESCRIPTION:In this ethnographic thesis Chantelle Lewis explores the retr
 ospective accounts of racialisation and racism experienced\, negotiated 
 and managed by six Black mixed-race families who live (and have lived) i
 n the predominantly white town\, Bromsgrove (West Midlands). Whilst cond
 ucting a two-year ethnography - supported by in-depth conversations with
  family members through both solo and group ethnographic interviews - Ch
 antelle aims to contribute to the emerging contemporary scholarship on p
 lace and space\, mixedness and Black mixed-race people in Britain (Josep
 h- Salisbury\, 2018 and Campion\, 2019). Much of the previous literature
  on mixedness has focused on (mixed) racialised identities and how race 
 and race thinking has affected lived experiences (Tizard and Phoenix\,19
 93\; Ali\, 2003\, Caballero\, Edwards and Puthussery 2008\, Bauer\, 2010
 \, Parker and Song\, 2001\, Olumide\, 2002 and Ifekwunigwe\, 1999). In t
 his research\, Chantelle strives to move beyond conceptualising mixednes
 s by attending to experiences of racialisation and racism in relation to
  place\, space and family formations.This is a further contribution to t
 he scholarship on mixedness that has sought to challenges frequently bin
 arized portrayals of mixed-race families within public life (Caballero\,
  2012). Through ethnographic observations and conversation between famil
 y members\, Chantelle stresses that the emphasis on place\, space and th
 e family unit help to confront the doxa around ‘progressive’ and ‘proble
 matic’ representations of mixed- race populations. By attending to the s
 ocial intricacies outside of constructions of identity\, Chantelle explo
 res the existence and persistence of whiteness that is narrated through 
 participants experiences within Bromsgrove and how this is entangled wit
 hin their own Black (and white) mixed-race families. Further\, she draw 
 on participants negotiations of racialisation and racism in relation to 
 proximities to whiteness\, but also stresses the importance of very inti
 mate forms of racism they navigate due to their predominantly white envi
 ronments within their hometown\, but also within their families (Lewis\,
  2009).\n\nChantelle Lewis is a part-time PhD student in the Sociology d
 epartment at Goldsmiths\, UK. She is co-host of the sociological/politic
 al podcast Surviving Society\, a research assistant on the ESRC funded p
 roject (UK in a Changing Europe)\, BrExpats and Programme Director of th
 e Leading Routes campaign\, #BlackinAcademia.
