"Diversityland makes a compelling case that diverse suburban communities are often characterized by the 'diversity contract'--that is, an unspoken shared value of diversity alongside norms that discourage voicing racial inequality. This book's detailed, holistic research approach and strong narrative are a vital contribution to our growing understanding of how 'diversity talk' emerges in different communities, especially those often overlooked in studies of racial inequality."--Natasha Warikoo, author of Race at the Top: Asian Americans and Whites in Pursuit of the American Dream in Suburban Schools

"Kiara Wyndham's rich ethnographic research and precise argumentation bridge deep, place-based knowledge of Fort Bend (a community Wyndham grew up in) with macro-theorizations of race, racism, and class. Diversityland is eminently readable--an incredible feat, given its theoretical complexity."--Sarah Mayorga, coauthor of A Good Reputation: How Residents Fight for an American Barrio
