Media Reviews
Many of the fairly readable essays are poignant and revealing about contemporary multiracial experiences.... overall, the essays are quite interesting and insightful.... Recommended. * CHOICE, May 2010 *
As America becomes more multiracial and ethnically diverse, observers of all varieties will have to rely on the corpus of illuminating testimonies contained in this volume to understand how those coming into society mobilize their identity and specifically to what extent their perception and experiences with racism continues to exist as a negative ingredient in that process and thus, as barrier to social progress. These authors have given us a creative path to move in that direction. -- Ronald Walters, Institute for Advanced Study
