Publisher Synopsis
An entertaining and enlightening excursion into the world of critical race and gender theory. Even those who disagree with Subotniks critique will appreciate the value of his analysis. Toxic Diversity is a worthwhile contribution to the dialogue over diversity in its many forms. -- Steven G. Gey,Florida State University College of Law Many outside the universities think that political correctness faded from the campus in the mid-nineties. Dan Subotnik shows that it never went away: it got tenure. This book is beautifully written, consistently enjoyable, and replete with wonderful anecdotes and memorable humor. It is also thoroughly researched and reliable. -- Christina Hoff Sommers,author of Who Stole Feminism? The left knows how to dish out criticism. Can it take it? With the publication of Toxic Diversity, we'll find out. More subtle and searching than other critiques of critical race theory, critical legal studies, and feminist legal theory, Dan Subotniks book poses challenges that all progressives, myself included, will need to consider. -- Richard Delgado,Professor of Law and Derrick Bell Fellow in Law, University of Pittsburgh Law School This is the kind of fearless work that will read as common sense a hundred years from now, to readers who will be as perplexed by much of our current race writing as we are today by medieval tracts about alchemy. -- John McWhorter,author of Losing the Race: Self-Sabotage in Black America A thoughtful critique of identity politics in the nation's law schools. . . . It is the great merit of Mr. Subotniks work that he moves us toward a single standard for judging scholarship and thus helps create the conditions for the common enterprise of explaining our social worldand even, if we are lucky, improving it. * The Wall Street Journal * Read more...
