| Annotation | There is not yet a consensus regarding people of mixed race and their identity, and even less agreement about the right policy or practice responses. This is a compilation of eleven articles by researchers, starting with analysis of key data from the 2001 Census, followed by discussions on diversity versus group experiences of 'mixedness'. Policy and practice is considered regarding educational needs, health and social care policy, and family policies. Three final papers reflect on the actions of community organisations, for example in community development and spaces for people to share their experiences of mixedness and mixing. The aim of the Runnymede Perspectives series is to engage with government and other initiatives through exploring the use and development of concepts in policymaking, and analysing their potential contribution to a successful multi-ethnic Britain.
