He argues for dropping the question 'What is your race' from the Census entirely, and instead asking questions about language, national origins, and the national origins of parents. A 15-page appendix offers a comparative perspective on gathering data on the racial makeup of populations in Brazil, France, and Israel. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
