Ultimately, Brubaker would like us to recognize transracial identities in the same way we accept transgender ones. In his analysis, transracial identities generate uneasy resonances with not only the dark histories of racial passing, but also the contemporary realities of racial oppression. Still, he prods us to reflect on the new kinds of racial identities being created through interracial relations, multiracial movements and generational change. While the mainstream recognizes transgender, it remains wary of transracial. The controversy over trans identities is far from settled.\" * Macleans *\u003cbr\u003e\"Brubaker maintains that we are living in ‘an age of unsettled identities.' Of that, he convinces me.

He carefully lays out a taxonomy of both older and emerging classifications of ‘trans,' ordering both the many meanings of transgender and the less well known and more contested ideas about transracial. . . . What is clear from this excellent book is that the cultural logic of autonomy\/choice that is working itself out in our age of unsettled identities is not of itself self-limiting.
