One drop of blood; the American misadventure of race. by Scott L Malcomson

Part history, part memoir, Malcomson's book is one of the most insightful and illuminating treatments of the concept that race is a social construction. His most important contribution is to recognize and elucidate the triangular interplay of Native American, European, and African identities in the New World, demonstrating how central this interplay is to the concept of America itself.
