"Extremely urgent for studies of comparative race relations..." - Jossiana Aroyo, University of Michigan "A significant and much-needed contribution to study of Afro-Latino issues, and to the comparative study of 'race' and racial formations and transformations in the US today." - Lourdes Martinez-Echazabal, University of California, Santa Cruz "Timely and path-breaking. This book will be welcomed by all those interested in race, multiculturalism, transnationalism and diaspora in the Americas." - Peter Wade, University of Manchester "This book is a precious tool for students of Afro-Latino and Latino Studies." - Antonio Sérgio Alfredo Guimarães, Universidade de São Paulo "Neither Enemies nor Friends is absolutely one of the most outstanding, exciting and well-written collections of essays on the issue of race relations that I have read in a long time. The volume coherently explores the multifaceted dimensions of relations between and among Latinos, Blacks and Afro-Latinos, in a refreshing and unsurpassed manner. Without question, this volume constitutes one of the most unique and formidable compilations of writings on the topic, within the field of Latino and Latin-American Studies." - Antonia Darder, Professor of Educational Policy Studies and Latino Studies, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, "Extremely urgent for studies of comparative race relations..."--Jossiana Aroyo, University of Michigan "A significant and much-needed contribution to study of Afro-Latino issues, and to the comparative study of 'race' and racial formations and transformations in the US today."--Lourdes Martinez-Echazabal, University of California, Santa Cruz "Timely and path-breaking.
