What does it mean to be mixed race in today's society?
In this powerful book, Natalie and Naomi Evans, founders of anti-racist advocacy and platform Everyday Racism, explore the complexities of mixed-race identities - from the discrimination endured by the 1.2 million mixed people in Britain and millions more elsewhere, to the privileges it can afford. Sharing their own personal experiences of growing up in Britain to illuminate the nuances of racial identity, the book also weaves in:
- Interviews with people from mixed backgrounds and in mixed relationships
- Research to dispel common myths and stereotypes
- Practical advice for mixed-race families and friendships
The Mixed-Race Experience will help you to recognise and confront the racism within your own family and communities, helping us all to deepen our intersectional awareness and commitment to allyship.
Thought-provoking, sensitive and challenging, The Mixed Race Experience is a deeply moving look at identity and belonging.

Critics Review
I really enjoyed reading the different angles and stories in this book on the experiences of being mixed-race in a society where we are all racialised as white, black or a bit of both … An important and welcome addition to the ongoing conversation about who we are in this society … current, informative, thought-provoking.
Educational for even the most racially aware, without being condescending. A must-read guide for mixed-race families and relationships
An essential read. Packed with thought-provoking interviews and practical advice, Natalie and Naomi have created a necessary piece of reading not only for those navigating the world as mixed-race but for us all
A powerful and important read. It is one that challenges, interrogates, inspires and gives you much to think about and lots to act on. A book for anyone who truly wants to ask difficult questions of themselves, have deeper conversations with loved ones or colleagues and responsibly be a part of real change
An essential, highly engaging, razor-sharp and deeply thoughtful body of work. Without reading this you will struggle to properly understand and appreciate our rapidly emerging future as a country
The accessible and informative work of @everydayracism_ is fundamental to creating a better Britain. Read, share, and do your bit in creating a framework for equality
Full of wisdom, curiosity, and kindness. Naomi and Natalie touch on things I’ve felt my whole life, but never had the language to articulate myself. It’s helped me to see my dual heritage in a new light, and I know it will be a welcome resource for so many individuals and families who are struggling to feel that sense of true belonging
The book I needed to read. It gave my feelings a place, showed me that it was okay to take ownership over my racial identity and made me not feel so alone
Naomi and Natalie are truly inspirational thought leaders
I felt seen. It gave me the language to say things I’ve felt for years, but never knew how to put into words … but also had me challenge some of my own views too.
