  State University of West Georgia: This is a much needed contribution to the literature on race and social class. As more and more families become interracial families it is certain to become a hot topic in sociology. McNamara's book presents a unique contribution that is grounded in original research. It should find a place not only on the shelves of every self-respecting library, but also in the classroom.
