1. New book: Paul Lawrence Farber, Mixing Races: 
From Scientific Racism to Modern Evolutionary 
Ideas, The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2011. 
It "explores changing American views of race 
mixing in the twentieth century, showing how new 
scientific ideas transformed accepted notions of 
race and how those ideas played out on college 
campusues in the 1960s."
