Reviews

"Race and Multiraciality in Brazil and the United States extends our current and historical understandings of the topic beyond the United States and takes readers to a country in which multiracialism has long been an important component of national identity. Reginald Daniel's extensive knowledge of both cases along with his skillful comparison of the two adds theoretical depth to the emerging debates around race and multiracialism." - Edward Telles, UCLA, author of Race in Another America: The Significance of Skin Color in Brazil"
