Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is a blockbuster of a book ... the most important work on race in Brazil". -- George Reid Andrews, Journal of Social History

Review

The clarity and lucidity of Telles's findings . . . make this book a genuine tour de force.
(George Reid Andrews Journal of Social History )

Edward Telles's rich and important book is the latest, and most systematic, sociological study of Brazilian race relations.
(Melissa Nobles American Journal of Sociology )

Telles skillfully diagnoses the dimensions and mechanisms of race discrimination and identifies those policy solutions the government should contemplate.
(Mala Htun Political Science Quarterly )

3.0 out of 5 stars okay, January 3, 2007

By	K. Jaimez "cali girl" (New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Race in Another America: The Significance of Skin Color in Brazil (Paperback)

There's a lot of quantative data in this book, but not a lot of analysis, real commentary, or much qualitative information. So with respect to solid data one might refer to in a report or debate, its great, but not always the most interesting reading.
