This book is an important interdisciplinary study of the mixed-race subject in the Americas. It draws inspiration from Fanon to Vest and examines widely; from the politics of low-income housing projects, to visual and narrative foundational discourses on colonial subjects, to the lived legacy of these semiotic structures. The writing is bracing, seeking continually to further the decolonial project by stressing the transnational. -- Elisa Sampson Vera Tudela, Senior Lecturer, Department of Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies, King's College London This is a major contribution to the development of decolonial thought. Taylor-Garcia shows that mixing is not a triumph of moral anti-racism, as it is sometimes portrayed, but the result of forced collisions and migrations. Given this, decolonial projects must begin to operate more fully as relational projects that connect multiple domains. Brilliant. -- Linda Martin Alcoff, Professor of Philosophy, Political Science, and Women's Studies, Syracuse University
