Some of these ethnic groups already had historic ties, but technology, migration, and globalization during the twentieth century brought them into even closer contact. Transnational Crossroads explores and triangulates for the first time the interactions and contacts among these three cultural groups that were brought together by the expanding American empire from 1867 to 1950. Through a comparative framework, this volume weaves together narratives of U.S. and Spanish empire, globalization, resistance, and identity, as well as social, labor, and political movements. Contributors examine multiethnic celebrities and key figures, migratory paths, cultural productions, and social and political formations among these three groups. Engaging multiple disciplines and methodologies, these studies of Asian American, Lati...

Across 2 studies, there was evidence for the validation of the 25-item MEM with 5 subscales including Shifting Expressions, Perceived Racial Ambiguity, Creating Third Space, Multicultural Engagement, and Multiracial Discrimination. The 5-subscale structure of the MEM was supported by a combination of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Evidence of criterion-related validity was partially supported with MEM subscales correlating with measures of racial diversity in one's social network, color-blind racial attitude, psychological distress, and identity conflict. Evidence of discriminant validity was supported with MEM subscales not correlating with impression management. Implications for future research and suggestions for utilization of the MEM in cl...

As hypothesized, higher levels of perceived racial discrimination was related to lower levels of psychological adjustment (i.e., higher distress symptoms and negative affect). Also, higher levels of multiracial identity integration with low racial conflict was related to higher levels of psychological adjustment (i.e., lower distress symptoms and negative affect), whereas higher levels of multiracial identity integration with low racial distance was related to higher levels of psychological adjustment (i.e., lower negative affect). Finally, multiracial identity integration (i.e., lower racial conflict) moderated the relationship between perceived racial discrimination and psychological adjustment (i.e., negative affect) with results suggesting multiracial identity integration related to low racial conflict buffers the negative effects of perceived racial discrimination on psychological adjustment. Findings from this study are discussed in terms of future research on the psychological well-being of multiracial individuals and implications for clinical practice with multiracial adults.

Rodriguez 1 I n november 2004, I took a trip with a friend to Acapulco, Mexico, to embark on an exploration of cultural identity and history. It was then part of my dissertation research. I wanted to find out just how long and extensive the relationship between Filipinos and Mexicans was, which I knew predated those beginning in the early twentieth century in the United States, and in particular San Diego, California, where there is a large and growing multiethnic Mexipino population. 2 I knew that the story of Filipino and Mexican interethnic relationships has a rich, complex history. During the course of this trip I came to find out just how rich and complex the history is. Walking down Calle Cinco de Mayo in Acapulco, I could not help but notice the Filipino-owned stores and shops, and hear the conversations as the proprietors spoke to their staff and clientele in Spanish and Tagalog. All over Acapulco there are other distinct signs of a recent Filipino presence. Many of the local residents have visible Filipino or Asian features. 3 The
