"Racial Transformations challenges standard notions of racial meaning, racial identity, and racial politics. We need work like this: its comparative approach to Latino and Asian American racial formation helps us rethink many of the existing paradigms of race. A valuable contribution." Howard Winant, author of The New Politics of Race: Globalism, Difference, Justice "This collection marks an important intervention in the history and historiography of 'race,' ethnicity, immigration, and citizenship in the United States." David Gutierrez, author of Walls and Mirrors: Mexican Americans, Mexican Immigrants, and the Politics of Ethnicity
