Trade Review
"A spell-binding exploration of mixed-race Charlestonians and New Orleanians who… built complex lives across the color line.… Heartbreaking but also vividly alive, The Accident of Color… portrays the many ways people struggled for the right to define themselves in a time of hardening racial lines. A lovely, necessary book." -- Gregory P. Downs, professor of history, University of California, Davis, and author of The Second American Revolution
