Stories of mixed South Asian identity and family

Mixed Desis brings together accounts from multiracial South Asians, interracial families, and family researchers, with attention to the experiences of mixed marriages within South Asian communities. The collected perspectives address how families navigate cultural backgrounds and the challenges and ideas that arise in those relationships. The book also reflects its origins in Punita Khanna’s search for other families navigating South Asian and White backgrounds while raising her son. Its subject is both personal and communal: individual stories sit alongside an effort to create a space for shared experience and understanding.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in multiracial South Asian experiences and identity.
  • Those exploring interracial families and mixed marriages in South Asian communities.
  • Family researchers seeking personal accounts related to multicultural family life.
