Lives in Between: Assimilation and Marginality in Austria, Brazil, and West Africa, 1780–1945 (Studies in Comparative World History)

Employing a cross-cultural approach, this book focuses on members from several generations of families who were products of two or more social worlds - the Afro-Brazilian Reboucas family; the West African Creole May family from Sierra Leone; and the Austrian-Jewish Zweig-Brettauer family.
