Turning Back: The Retreat from Racial Justice in American Thought and PolicyBeacon Press, 2001 M01 16 - 318 páginas Winner of the ASA, Oliver Cox Award for Anti-Racist Scholarship From the author of The Ethnic Myth comes this cogent analysis of how social science has placed a liberal gloss on racism and failed to champion civil rights. From a powerful critique of Gunnar Myrdal's classic An American Dilemma to a new epilogue that dismantles the myth of black progress, Turning Back offers a challenge to liberals as well as conservatives, blacks as well as whites, who have fueled the current backlash by providing a spurious intellectual cover for gutting affirmative action and other policies designed to advance the cause of racial justice. |
