His scrupulously researched study of the history, nature, and effects of racism will certainly ruffle many feathers--particularly those of cultural relativists and liberal "antiracists" whose opinions he aims to discredit. But thinkers of all political persuasions would benefit from reading this self-described conservative's eloquently presented views as he "excavates beyond the usual digging sites" to present a unique and troubling vision of the "neurotic obsession" with race that continues to divide American society.<p> Much of what D'Souza says flies in the face of liberal doctrine. He maintains that there are cultural differences that account for distinct levels of achievement among races, and that racism cannot be blamed for "black failure." He argues that racism is not a universal phenomenon but a relatively recent Western intellectual concept, and because we can trace racism's beginning we can likewise bring about its demise. He deals blow after blow to longstanding "myths" about race, criticizing the "civil rights industry," rejecting "misguided" solutions such as multiculturalism and proportional representation as "fighting discrimination by practicing it," and even calls for a repeal of the near-sacred Civil Rights Act of 1964.<p> This is not an easy book to read, but it is an important one. Even if more than a few disagree with D'Souza's assumptions and arguments, all should welcome his well-considered, insightful treatment of this immensely difficult topic. <I>--Uma Kukathas</I> 245061 1995 The End of Racism total:65|5:24|4:18|3:13|2:6|1:4| 65 247 124 15 252893 0684825244 9780684825243 56 9 3.80 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173157553m/252893.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/252893.The_End_of_Racism 4 0 false Thu Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2004 Sat Nov 15 22:42:26 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 20 19:55:07 -0800 2008 1 more...]]> 899381 0029081025 9780029081020 9 6 3.80 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179288272m/899381.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/899381.END_OF_RACISM_Principles_for_a_Multiracial_Society 5 0 false Fri Oct 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 09 19:04:31 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 17 13:03:11 -0700 2009 1
