Of Many Colors: Portraits of Multiracial Families "I was very moved by this book ... it is effective both because it is important scholarship and because it contains such profoundly moving human stories. By letting the members of these families speak for themselves, the author and photographer capture the diversity of their experiences. I especially like the fact that even the children are allowed to speak their mind; after all it is they who are often the undeserving recipients of bigotry." - Sonia Nieto Author, Affirming Diversity info and to order: university of massachusetts press amazon.com
