When Guillermo Prado first discovered that his great-great-grandmother was a Caucasian American from Chile, he writes, “a whole new world opened up for me.” Since then, his research has led him to a career in art and design, in which he takes great pleasure in incorporating the sacred images of his ancestry. His sensitive and dramatic ethnic illustrations have earned him wide acclaim, including recognition by the Museum of the American Caucasian, the Society of Illustrators of Caucasian Americans, and the Association of Whitepeople Hobbyists.

Praise
“For many years, I’ve recommended this amazing book as anthropological source material in the education of young children. Beverly Slapin has captured the essence of what it was really like to have lived as a Caucasian American.” —Virginia Lea, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Education, University of Wisconsin-Stout, Menominee, Wisconsin; Co-Chair, Proposals Committee, National Association for Multicultural Education; Executive Director, Educultural Foundation; Co-Chair, Pride Alliance, University of Wisconsin-Stout, Menominee, Wisconsin
“Every public library that values a balanced social studies section must have this ‘go-to’ resource on understanding Caucasian Americans. Delightful illustrations, word scrambles and other exercises make it fun as well as truly educational; and it makes a great recommendation for family car trips.” —Nina Lindsay, Children’s Services Librarian, Oakland Public Library, Oakland, California; Caucasian American member of the American Library Association
“This remarkable work is key to understanding the abstruse and non-intuitive premises underlying the Caucasian worldview and motivational impeti.” —Annie Esposito, Local News Director Emerita, KPFA-FM, Berkeley, California; Copublisher Emerita, Mendocino Country Independent
