Review Quotes

'This is an interesting book on who is perceived to be an American. Pinder's systematic analysis and discussion of the racialization of all the hyphenated groups (i.e. Chinese-American, Native Americans, and African-Americans, etc.) is exciting. This book is a welcome and erudite contribution to the African studies field, political science, and women's studies, especially for classes on race and gender.' Thelma Pinto, Codirector of Africana Studies, Hobart & William Smith Colleges, USA, and Past President of the African Literature Association
