ABSTRACT

Multiracial individuals have been simultaneously oppressed and neglected in U.S. society. Although the population of Multiracially-identifying individuals in the United States continues to grow, the predominant counseling literature continues to focus primarily on monoracial identity groups. This has significant implications for Multiracial individuals as they negotiate their space in society. Multiracial college students on predominately monoracial campuses are a particularly vulnerable group that can benefit from support in developing a positive racial identity. This paper offers a review of extant literature on the Multiracial experience in the United States and proposes the utility of Multiracial groups as a university counseling service for Multiracial college student identity development and support.

摘要

在美国社会，多种族个人同时受到压迫和忽视。尽管在美国，具有多种族身份的个人的数量持续增长，但主要的咨询文献仍主要集中于单种族身份群体。这对于多种族个体在社会中协商自己的空间时具有重要意义。在主要是单一种族的校园中，多种族的大学生是一个特别脆弱的群体，可以从发展积极的种族认同的支持中受益。本文提供了有关美国多种族经历的现有文献的综述，并提出了多种族群体作为大学咨询服务对多种族大学生身份发展和支持的实用性。
