Several different authors write about multiracial identity and give different perspectives on it. Pros and cons of multiracial identity are discussed. Most of the writings are straightforward and honest, not much of the typical boring one-sided race discussion.
Multiracial writers are more capable of presenting more balanced views on race issues than are whites or minorities. I am a proponent of multiracial identity.

I read the book, New Faces, hoping for an intelligent look into the way people view themselves as being multiracial. "Dr." Loretta Winters appears to be one of the worst, most absent minded speakers on the subject. Her writting is horrible and I believe that she lied about having a Ph.D and about being Biracial. Her own psychological state of mind is clearly unstable and unhealthy and I think she needs to seek some counseling for playing this sick game on humanity. This is one of the worst looks at being multiracial. I found the book to be unclear and came off like a drunkards rambles. I pity the soul that ever come across this and her repetive, condescending overtones. I am multiracial and offended at how she writes that we are all the same.
