"This is a first-rate book on an important, topical, and under-theorized area of scholarship. A focus on mixed race people of color, as opposed to mixed race white/people of color, is truly cutting edge."— Kevin Johnson, Dean, UC Davis School of Law"In decentering whiteness and highlighting the experiences of multiracial people of multiple minority backgrounds, this anthology signals the exciting start of a new third wave in mixed race studies."— Robert Chao Romero, author of The Chinese in Mexico, 1882-1940
