Mixed Media: Books
An ever-growing list of books, films, platforms and more that discuss mixed identity
Hi! Welcome back to Mixed Media: Books, your ultimate resource for books exploring the mixed identity.
This carefully curated list comes from years of research and talking to over 200 mixed guests, as well as countless other subscribers, followers and creators. It’s a list I’ll continue to update with the expanding canon of content around mixedness, so check back regularly to see what’s new.
I hope you enjoy diving into the developing conversation around mixed-race identity in all its forms, and if you have any recommendations to add to this ever-growing list, please leave them in the comments below!
I could list out every book about the mixed experience of featuring mixed characters, but that would make this page very, very long. Thankfully, there are a huge amount of titles to choose from now, so check out the categories at the below Mixed Messages storefronts.
I update my Bookshop page the most frequently, which also supports independent bookshops with every purchase, If you can, please shop here as a first port of call!

Mixed Messages is a weekly exploration of the mixed-race experience, from me, Isabella Silvers. My mom is Punjabi (by way of East Africa) and my dad is white British, but finding my place between these two cultures hasn’t always been easy. That’s why I started Mixed Messages, where each week I’ll speak to a prominent mixed voice to delve into what it really feels like to be mixed.
