I have been pursuing some research topics; and I have found some interesting works. One in particular is well documented piece of scholarship by Jack D. Forbes "who is of Native American" ancestry and is "director of Native Americal Studies at the University of California, Davis." The work, in particular, that I have just started to read is "Africans and Native Americans: The Language of Race and the Evolution of Red-Black Peoples", 2nd Edition. Univ. of Illinois Press, 1993. The volume explores "key issues relating to the evolution of racial terminology and European colonialists' perceptions of color, analyzing the development of color classification systems and the specific evolution of key terms which no longer carry their original meanings. Has any one on the list read the work and/or know anything about the author and his prior scholarship? If anyone has read or is interested in reading this piece; I would be welcome an opportunity to read and discuss it with you --either off-list (if it's not adjudged an allowable topic) or on-list (if it is accpeted as a discussion item). The book should be availabe from the library. thurman
