5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for all who think they are white, December 19, 2002
By 
"jmenard5" (Portland ,ME USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Almost White (Paperback)
I am so glad I got this book. For years I had been in ethnic limbo. I had always played white on government forms. My sister has told people we were from Italy. For the first time in this book I read about and saw people who look like me. It got me interested in my culture. I now refuse to be called white.
How many books can change a persons life in that way?I do not feel so lost or alone. Anyone who looks in the mirror and sees an almost white face should read this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars a lame one sided oppinion, March 2, 2006
This review is from: Almost White (Paperback)
i thought that this book is definately written in the age of ignorance. the idea of a race of people that is so isolated at the time hits home for me. my family is one of the "MAYLE" clan, so to speak, and this book was appauling. granted it gave some of the factual events and information but at the same time the author did not give accounts of the people themselves. it was treated as if this was an experiment. he should have gotten ALL of the facts before he wrote. some of the people that the author wrote about are actually native american (cheroke and pittsburg blackfoot). they were neither white or black and never really claimed to be either. as being a mayle myself, this book is a real dishonor to our family and all of our ancestors that delt with the same ignorance.

1.0 out of 5 stars A people never truly researched, April 6, 2006
This review is from: Almost White (Paperback)
I agree with Christina Mayle. I read this book some years ago and feel the author didn't really interview or research thoroughly for himself the people being written about. As far as I'm concerned there is no such group as "tri racial isolates". We lived in a community and interacted to an extent with the surrounding community. He makes the people in the book as something out of the ordinary, when most people are more than one race or nationality. I am related to both the Mayle's and the Menerd's.
I gave it one star, mainly because it is a book that can be read and people can see how bias others can be. And yes, we are Native American.
