'Mixed Race Studies: A Reader isthe most exciting volume I have
read on mixed race studies. Ifekwunigwe has produced the first
volume of original historical works; she allows the scholar and
student of mixed race studies to trace the thinking about this
subject over several decades. In doing so, she documents the
evolution of a field of study that has just become visible. Her
volume captures the major thinkers and their critical examinations
and conceptualizations of social and political racial ecologies. In
surveying major contributions across fields, Ifekwunigwe also
documents how critical it is for the student and scholar of mixed
race studies to be informed by multidisciplinary thinking ... I
have read this volume and will read it again, and again. The
collection of works sets the stage for critical thinking about
race, hierarchy, and human behavior.' - Maria P. P. Root, editor
ofRacially Mixed People in America and The Multiracial
Experience
'Ifekwunigwe's reader is remarkably comprehensive, covering the
field of multiracial studies from its history, through contemporary
scholarship, and toward new ideas, identities and tensions in the
ongoing politics of race.' - Naomi Zack, editor ofAmerican Mixed
Race
'This is the definitive anthology on the subject ... an
intellectual feast and a strategic intervention in racial
politics.' - Paul Spickard, author ofMixed Blood: Intermarriage and
Ethnic Identity in Twentieth-Century America
