OLD ISSUES, NEW DIRECTIONS, AND ONGOING DEBATES: AN INTRODUCTION TO ETHNIC-RACIAL IDENTITY ACROSS THE LIFESPAN

The papers in the current issue challenge these assumptions by offering commentary and guidelines for ethnic-racial identity across the lifespan and life course. They go beyond giving attention to only populations that have historically been associated with ethnic-racial identity and include information for multiracial- and White-American populations too. The papers in the current issue move away from understanding ethnic-racial identity for populations under 18 and expand the conversation to adult populations. The issue includes three articles and two commentaries.
