Blurring the Lines of Race and Freedom available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The history of race in North America is still often conceived of in black and white terms. In this book, A. B. Wilkinson complicates that history by investigating how people of mixed African, European, and Native American heritage—commonly referred to as "Mulattoes," "Mustees," and "mixed bloods"—were integral to the construction of colonial racial ideologies. Thousands of mixed-heritage people appear in the records of English colonies, largely in the Chesapeake, Carolinas, and Caribbean, and this book provides a clear and compelling picture of their lives before the advent of the so-called one-drop rule. Wilkinson explores the ways mixed-heritage people viewed themselves and explains how they—along with their African and Indigenous American forebears—resisted the formation of a rigid racial order and fought for freedom in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century societies shaped by colonial labor and legal systems. As contemporary U.S. society continues to grapple with institutional racism rooted in a settler colonial past, this book illuminates the earliest ideas of racial mixture in British America well before the founding of the United States.

Blurring the lines is a symbolism of the thin vague line separating feelings of friendship from those of romance. As humans, our feelings are a major part of who we are, it is the backbone of our personality. Our feelings direct our actions. So once someone crosses that thin line, the world starts to feel heavy and it's hard to come to terms with what we've realised. Sometimes we even try to push these feelings away to protect ourselves against this new found adoration. Unfortunately, our emotions are like toddlers, stubborn and unrelenting to reason. It wants what it wants. On the other hand, there are memories that always bring smile on our face. These are the memories that make us believe that sun will rise again and we are gonna happy again. The nostalgic feeling smells same as earth after first rain. And smell always uplifts one's soul. Blurring the lines dictates such stories where people have crossed these lines, unceremoniously falling for their best friends. This book is for those unlucky strangers who had blindly fallen for their close ones, and has been left broken at the end. This book is for the ones who are struggling with their feelings, trying to figure out a way to overcome these feelings. This book teaches you that it's okay to fall in love and to fall out of it. In life, it is quite difficult to tag a bond you share with your loved ones by a name. It is more complex at times, as your best friend can also be your brother, mentor, and partner in crime too. Love is something that transcends all the boundaries. Sometimes the lovable bond with your loved ones could be more than what it is actually been tagged by others or given a name by you to define. The blurred lines that not really matters but the real love you share with each other outshines above all.

Richard Alba argues that the social cleavages that separate Americans into distinct, unequal ethno-racial groups could narrow dramatically in the coming decades. During the mid-twentieth century, the dominant position of the United States in the postwar world economy led to a rapid expansion of education and labor opportunities. As a result of their newfound access to training and jobs, many ethnic and religious outsiders, among them Jews and Italians, finally gained full acceptance as members of the mainstream. Alba proposes that this large-scale assimilation of white ethnics was a result of Ònon-zero-sum mobility,Ó which he defines as the social ascent of members of disadvantaged groups that can take place without affecting the life chances of those who are already members of the established majority. Alba shows that non-zero-sum mobility could play out positively in the future as the baby-boom generation retires, opening up the higher rungs of the labor market. Because of the changing demography of the country, many fewer whites will be coming of age than will be retiring. Hence, the opportunity exists for members of other groups to move up. However, Alba cautions, this demographic shift will only benefit disadvantaged American minorities if they are provided with access to education and training. In Blurring the Color Line, Alba explores a future in which socially mobile minorities could blur stark boundaries and gain much more control over the social expression of racial differences.
