ABSTRACT:
G. Reginald Daniel is Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He is well qualified to write on the politics of the multiracial movement, being a member of the advisory boards of both the AMEA (American Association of Multiethnic Americans) and Project RACE (Reclassify All Children Equally). The AMEA was founded in 1986 by Carlos Fernández, then president of I-Pride of Berkeley, and John Brown, a member of the Interracial Family Alliance of Atlanta. Project RACE was founded in 1991 by two mothers of biracial children, Susan Graham and Chris Ashe. Both organizations achieved national status, lobbying with moderate success to make Americans aware of multiracial consciousness. But they fought over the two ways of collecting data about multiracial people's self-label: the check-all-boxes-that-apply approach (eventually adopted by the U.S. census 2000) and adding a separate box for "multiracial" (adopted by many state school boards). Dr. Daniel's self-described role as "liaison between the two organizations" (p. 137) puts him in a perfect position to tells us about their feud.
