The book also contains an analysis of more contentious material such as Noddy and Little Black Sambo, explored here in a socio-historical context.

  1. Hi, Tiffany,

    I would like to send you a publication announcement about my latest book, but can’t figure out how to contact you other than here. The book is about interracial couples, “No Difference Between Them.”

    Where may I reach you?

    Thanks.

    Bob Kalman
