The MGM Perspective is an eye-opening book about the mixed-race society. A society which, though it is global, is not recognized. When people think of mixed race, they only know of a person who is an offspring of two people of different races. MGM stands for multigenerational mixed-race. This is a person that comes from a long line of mixed-race people. A prime example of an MGM society would be Latin America and the Caribbean. Of course, people of an MGM background are in the United States. Only now are people starting to accept the history of their families. They too are people of personal diversity. For black and white mixed people, which this book is about, it is a comparison of the recognition of being mixed race from the Caribbean-American perspective.

Life of a Dark Mixie is the follow-up book to The MGM Perspective – A Guideline into the Mixed World. This book describes the experiences of a dark-complexioned mixed-race person (black and white). It shows the personal struggles to be accepted by society for who you are, and more so by your genetic peers.

“So…What’s Wrong With Being Mixed?” is the third installment in the “Mixed Collection” series by global author Philip Timothy Arnell. It directly confronts society on its view of multiracial/biracial people, and the different experiences and scenarios they face on a daily basis.

It points out the different behaviors of those who can’t seem to relate to or understand a group of people who are exactly like themselves, but with a mixed ancestry. Some are innocently curious and others are derogatory in their approach.

Some are mixed people themselves, and can’t seem to get a grasp on their natural dynamic due to the pressures of society. This book is to show people that there is nothing wrong with having personal diversity: recognizing and respecting others, especially themselves. Accept mixed people for how they are. As for mixed-race people in general? Embrace and accept yourselves. You have a lot to appreciate. That’s what is right about being mixed.

“Mixed Is Mixed – Deal. With. It.” describes the dismissal of multigenerational mixed-race people.
