Recs if you like The Mixed Marriage Project: A Memoir of Love, Race, and Family...

This list was generated from a post on pagebound club on Juneteenth in 2026. I opted to not try and make this list comprehensive but just to document the community recs from that day - however, if you have more books to recommend please comment in the forum! Prompts from the original post will be in the comments. Note: prompts asked for books by Black authors, not only those from/books set in the US. See comments section for more discussion.

Finally watched Sinners (2025) written and directed by Ryan Coogler Starting list from thebookclub.eu on ig and ft. domdeereads ♡

To understand the racial hierarchy in the United States, you have to understand the language Black and mixed race people have been using to describe it since the end of the American Civil War.

Reconstruction gave birth to "the Color Line" phrase. It describes the legal and social boundaries between Black and White and the entire racial hierarchy that exists between them in the United States.

An essential resource for the American mixed and multiracial experience.
