Editorial Reviews

For anyone who has an interest in social justice movements or how to be an ally to people of color or who is involved in activist organizations that deal with interracial issues, this is key reading.

Jennifer Ho, professor, Department of English and Comparative Literature, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

It's an irony; nevertheless, racial minorities in the US have had a complex relationship in their quest for equality in the broadest sense of the word. Amid their cooperation lay strife and tension. The editors of this anthology bring together a “dream team? of scholars to interrogate this phenomenon. The collection does not offer any quick fixes to the conflict-cooperation paradigm; yet, their provocative analyses will surely bring this aspect of racial minorities out of the closet.

Stephen Middleton, professor emeritus of history and former director of the African American Studies Program at Mississippi State University and coeditor of The Construction of Whiteness
