      abstract = {The politics surrounding Chicago’s history with housing  segregation provides a stark example of targeted and  long-lasting racial discrimination in the United States,  which would lend itself to an analysis of this sort. While  the effects of redlining and housing segregation has been  well documented on the level of monoracial groups, the  effect of these policies on the current demographic  breakdown of the city and where mixed race individuals fall  in regards to the issue remains unclear. The concept of  mixed race individuals is not a phenomenon exclusive to the  new millennium. However, the sheer number of Americans with  mixed race backgrounds has increased since the middle of  the 20th century. This raises questions of where mixed race  individuals stand in regards to racialized issues. Do mixed  race people feel as though these issues are less likely to  affect them than their mono-racial peers and as such are  they able to perhaps transcend traditional racial relations  as some have hoped or have the ethnic backgrounds of these  individuals not had any more meaning than those of the  generations before them? Specifically, I am curious to  examine the relationship between Chicago’s legacy of  housing segregation and mixed race residents today.},
