Race in Another America: The Significance of Skin Color in Brazil
Edward E. Telles
Princeton University Press, 2006
okay
There's a lot of quantative data in this book, but not a lot of analysis, real commentary, or much qualitative information. So with respect to solid data one might refer to in a report or debate, its great, but not always the most interesting reading.

True Tales from Another Mexico
Sam Quinones
University of New Mexico Press, 2001
A must read.
This book is fantastic. I don't often actually buy non-fiction because I usually don't plan to re-read it. This is a rare exception. Quinones is 1st & foremost a great storyteller. You'd hardly notice that it's all true if it weren't for the fact that these tales are ...

Climb the Wind: a Novel of Another America
Pamela Sargent
Harper Prism, 1998
Bad history - but a good story
Most "Indians Win" AH's are at best house-of-cards constructions and this one - while better than most - is no different. So if I told you I had problems galore with the history in this book, you'd probably not be surprised. But If I told you it doesn't make a darn bit ...

Kinsmen of Another Kind: Dakota-White Relations in the Upper Mississippi Valley 1650-1862 (Borealis Books)
Gary Clayton Anderson
Minnesota Historical Society Press, 1997
Somewhat Biased, but Good
Gary C. Anderson is considered an expert on Dakota/Sioux history, largely due to this book, "Kinsmen of Another Kind: Dakota-White Relations in the Upper Mississippi Valley, 1650-1862." It is a reprint, I believe, of his doctoral dissertation, and includes a new ...
