""Modern Blackness "is an important book. It is well written, it puts forth a creative theoretical apparatus, and it displays Deborah A. Thomas's keen ethnographic eye. It is on a topic of extreme importance to the discipline of anthropology as well as to African diaspora and Caribbean and Latin American studies, engaging as it does some of the effects of neoliberalism and structural adjustment in today's world."--Kevin A. Yelvington, author of "Producing Power: Ethnicity, Gender, and Class in a Caribbean Workplace"
