"Attacking such common racial notions as the idea that 'black plus white always results in black,' Zack deftly shows the flimsiness of our thinking about race."
-The Philadelphia Inquirer
"Race and Mixed Race is a very thought-provoking essay on an extremely important topic. It is fascinating reading which contains many, many gems."
-Laurence Thomas, Syracuse University, author of Vessels of Evil: American Slavery and the Holocaust
