Drawing from 76 interviews with single‐race and multiracial online daters, I argue that online daters reinforce racialized and gendered categorical differences through their examination of the mixed‐race body. I refer to this process as “multiracial dissection,” an intersubjective racialization process that invests bodies with racial and gendered meanings. Multiracial dissection may lead to feeling sexual interest on the part of the observer, but mixed‐race respondents' narratives illustrate how it is also a form of othering that reinforces stereotypes about monoracial femininities and masculinities in the racialized interaction order of online dating.}, number={2}, journal={SYMBOLIC INTERACTION}, author={Curington, Celeste Vaughan}, year={2021}, month={May}, pages={269–291} }

This paper provides a number of different blueprints for designing intersectional research, which can be adapted for different purposes. The key methodological tenets of intersectional research are oppression, relationality, complexity, context, comparison, and deconstruction. This paper defines these tenets, addresses misunderstandings of their implications, and applies these tenets to existing intersectional research. Multiple qualitative, comparative, and quantitative strategies can be used to carry out intersectional research; there is not just one way to do intersectional empirical research. While intersectional methods require thought in designing the research, they are doable. What is more, they provide much more nuanced understandings of social relations and inequality. If race, class, gender and other socially constructed dimensions of difference are understood not as static but as dynamic, researchers can employ a wide variety of methodological tools to analyze power relations via their intersections.}, number={1}, journal={SOCIOLOGICAL SPECTRUM}, author={Misra, Joya and Curington, Celeste Vaughan and Green, Venus Mary}, year={2021}, month={Jan}, pages={9–28} }

Finally, in Part Six, ‘‘Skin—Redefined,’’ women discuss their journey toward rejecting colorism and appreciating their skin. While the essays are informative, they do not read like traditional academic prose; instead, at times, the book has a novelistic or memoir-like tone. The engaging style of the essays would likely appeal to a broad audience, both within and outside academia. While I generally find the nonacademic style of the essays to be a strength of the book, making sociological topics accessible to the general public, there are places where the book could benefit from more analysis and interpretation by the editor. For instance, in one essay, Kim D. Chanbonpin says ‘‘I am 100 percent Asian American (and I have the results from my National Geographicbranded racial admixture DNA test to prove it)’’ (p. 165). Given the differential (and sometimes problematic) interpretations of racial admixture tests among the general public, a discussion of these tests and what they can and cannot tell us about race and human difference would have been a welcome addition. Additionally, contributors sometimes wrote about topics in ways that suggest an internalization of colorism or the normalization of whiteness and lightness as standard; while it is understandable that authors may do this in their honest essays about their experiences with colorism, a bit more critical analysis or commentary from Khanna would have strengthened the book. Such commentary could appear in the introductory material preceding each section; alternatively, it could appearinaconcludingchapter.Addingaconcluding chapter would also have helped to address the rather abrupt ending of the book, allowing for final commentary and synthesis from Khanna. A final critique relates to the concept of ‘‘giving voice.’’ Khanna says an objective of the book is to ‘‘give voice’’ to Asian American women. While a seemingly minor distinction, I would argue for rearticulating this as amplifying the voices of Asian American women, as opposed to giving voice. Women have voices and don’t need to be given them by an editor. Moreover, many of the contributors are writers, scholars, or academics with outlets to have their voices heard. Despite some qualms regarding this phrasing and the matters raised in the preceding paragraphs, I find the book as a whole to be well done; it is a forceful collection of essays with the potential to improve understanding of colorism among Asian Americans. I would recommend the book to any race scholar and anyone in the general public with an interest in colorism. The inclusion of several multiracial-Asian women also makes the book a worthwhile read for parents of multiracial-Asian children who want to know what their children may experience in relation to the politics of colorism and belonging.}, number={3}, journal={CONTEMPORARY SOCIOLOGY-A JOURNAL OF REVIEWS}, author={Curington, Celeste Vaughan}, year={2021}, month={May}, pages={243–245} }

The research that does interrogate how both race and gender structure organizational life for Black workers tends to focus on predominately White professional workplaces in the United States, where a White masculine or White feminine worker norm pervades. Drawing on interviews with Black African home care workers in Portugal, the author theorizes from the vantage point of Black women’s experience of work and elucidates how their narratives point to the several layers by which race and gender are embedded in organizational structures and practices that privilege White femininity in a non-U.S. work setting in which Black women make up the majority of the workforce. Black women reveal how White women colleagues’ scrutinize their labor performance unfairly, thwarting their opportunities for advancement and achieving respectful treatment within workplaces. Along with these interpersonal interactions, antiracial ideologies about the nature of the work also aid in racializing a gendered workplace that in turn makes invisible the racial tensions on the job. This research suggests that the Whiteness of an organization persists despite the “types” of workers that occupy the organizational space.}, number={3}, journal={SOCIOLOGY OF RACE AND ETHNICITY}, author={Curington, Celeste Vaughan}, year={2020}, month={Jul}, pages={333–347} }
