"A significant contribution that reflects the richness, complexity, and conceptual challenges of conducting and reporting on the pivotal intersection of race and ethnicity. The essays included here should find acceptance among a broad audience of scholars and laypersons alike." - Georgia A. Persons,editor of National Political Science Review "A valuable addition to the growing literature on black and multiracial politics." - Paula D. McClain,coauthor of Can We All Get Along? "Solid theory about the complicated relationships between blacks, whites and the new immigrants of `color' requires grounding in empirical studies, quantitative and qualitative. This volume contributes to theoretical understanding by using the black-white paradigm as a point of departure to study issues of identity, political incorporation and inter-ethnic conflict and cooperation. An important contribution." - Robert C. Smith,author of We Have No Leaders "This collection of essays could not be timelier...scholars pondering the implications of recent immigration for ethnic and racial politics would do well to look at this collection of essays."
