Two researchers reflect on navigating multiracial identities in the research situation
Published in International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education, Volume 23, Number 3, May–June 2010, pp. 259–281, DOI: 10.1080/09518390903196609.
Estimates from the 2006 Census included in the first paragraph of the Background section on p. 260 are incorrect. The sentence: ‘More recent estimates from the 2006 Census indicate that approximately one‐quarter of the populations of Alabama, California, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, and North Carolina and an estimated one‐third of the populations of Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, and South Carolina identify as multiracial (Stuckey 2008)’ should be disregarded. The online article and map (Stuckey 2008) that we cite once indicated that one‐quarter of California identifies as multiracial, but now specifies the number as at around 2%. Similarly, according to the updated article, the multiracial population of the USA seems to have fallen from 2.5% of the total population to 1.6%.
