Abstract
Abstract This chapter provides an overview of the historical engagement between multiracial people and the law. In doing so, it identifies and examines factors contributing to the failure of current antidiscrimination laws to protect multiracial Americans from racial discrimination. It argues in favor of a distinctive group identity for multiracial Americans, with particular emphasis placed on the need for a distinctive group identity within the framework of antidiscrimination law. It also suggests an additional modification to antidiscrimination law (i.e., the utilization of sociohistorical race) in order to better protect multiracial Americans from racial discrimination.
