Review Quotes: A thorough addition to the growing literature on media coverage of multiracial people in the US, Mary E. Triece's book is a timely illustration of the history preceding today's discourses of 'race mixing' and the long legacy of resistance to racist understandings of interracial relationships.--Catherine R. Squires, author of Dispatches from the Color Line: The Press and Multiracial America and The Post-Racial Mystique: Media and Race in the Twenty-First Century
