When I heard about Chandra Crane’s Mixed Blessing book, I cheered because there would finally be a book for people like me! Over the years, as I’ve looked to understand more about the intersections of my ethnically mixed identity, I’ve had to compartmentalize, categorize, and dissect experiences as simple “Filipino” or “White American”…and then contextualize that in my spiritual identity as a Christian. In Mixed Blessing, it was wonderful to lean into the wholeness of the pleasure and burden of embodying and manifesting two ethnicities as one person with a Christian worldview. Crane gives language to these pleasures and burdens I’ve struggled to articulate for myself, much less other people. Even for those of us a little further on the journey than others, in Mixed Blessing you’ll discover more ways to explore a mixed heritage, whether that heritage is ethnic, or cultural, or both. Mixed Blessing is an enormous blessing to mixed and non-mixed people! When I picked up her book, I thought I would hear mostly about ethnically mixed experiences like mine, but she quickly taught me that that is only one dimension of being a mixed person. This book is not just for people with my experience, but for culturally mixed people, adoptees, and their parents! If you are ethnically or culturally mixed, care for someone who is, or just really curious about what it means to be a mixed person, please read Crane’s Mixed Blessing.
