Almost White

<p>2021 Reprint of the 1963 Edition. Facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software.  Illustrated with photographs. This anthropological study is a detailed study of the life-styles of America's mestizos which focuses upon their struggle for identity. It is one of the first studies of racial hybrids in the Eastern portion of the United States. These groups go by a multitude of local popular names; Lumbees Croatans Melungeons Guineas Jackson Whites Brass Ankles etc. This provocative study of America's mixed-race minorities is competently humanly warmly written by a qualified anthropologist with an unusually live approach. Oliver La Farge <em>Saturday Review</em>.</p>
