Because the majority of American blacks are in fact of mixed ancestry, and because mulattoes and pure blacks ultimately combined their cultural heritages, what begins in the colonial period as mulatto history and culture ends in the twentieth century as black history and culture. Thus, understanding the history of the mulatto becomes one way of understanding something of the experience of the African American. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Williamson traces the fragile lines of color and caste that have separated mulattoes, blacks, and whites throughout history and speculates on the effect that the increasing ambiguity of those lines will have on the future of American society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joel Williamson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807120359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807120354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.99h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Joel Williamson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44128553631999,"sku":"9780807120354","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5face74c-06ed-405c-a12e-ffd54a1540c8.jpg?v=1687459247","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/new-people-joel-williamson-9780807120354","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
