Reviews
Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title for 2018
“Based on a review of how colorblindness has been conceptualized and measured in the psychological literature, Mazzocco presents a ‘four-variety model’ that integrates existing findings on the topic. … Written in a clear and well-defined manner, the book is an essential resource for academic readers interested in racial colorblindness. Summing Up: Essential. Upper-division undergraduates and above; researchers and faculty.” (I. I. Katzarska-Miller, Choice, Vol. 55 (6), February, 2018)
“The Psychology of Racial Colorblindness would be a welcome addition to the library of anyone who researches the topic of race, not just from the psychological perspective, but also from the point of view of other social sciences. The book could also easily serve as a textbook for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses in race or prejudice studies in psychology. Finally, the chapters delineating racial history and harms could usefully be shared with broad audiences.” (C. Albert Bardi and Kasey Marshall, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 62 (46), November, 2017)
