A good subtitle would be: How the old inequality has been replaced by the new inequality."- Robert Nisbet Albert Schweitzer Professor, Emeritus Columbia University "Lynch condemns the sloppy, fearful thinking that has converted affirmative action into quotas and that has kept social researchers shying away from this explosive topic."- Shulamit Reinharz Choice "There is nothing quite like Frederick Lynch's book which describes how affirmative action works in real life, and points to some very disturbing effects. This is a subject that should be discussed not only in the Supreme Court and Lynch makes an important contribution to that discussion."-Nathan Glazer Professor of Education and Sociology Harvard University "This excellent book is about real rather than potential victims, those who have suffered directly because racial preferences have disrupted or ended their careers. It is quite right to term them invisible....They are ordinary citizens, done in by their betters, swept aside coolly yet self-righteously in the service of a regnant cliche of the moment."- Joseph Adelson Professor of Sociology University of Michigan ?Lynch's passionately argued book asks: How did controversial social policy that laced public support nonetheless become institutionalized? The social policy Lynch examines is affirmative action. Lynch uses sociological concepts to account for the persistence of affirmative action, but also blames sociology for contributing to its support. This, his book is as much an indictment of sociology as it is an indictment of how our country has recently dealt with overcoming discrimination. The book contains seven tables, synopses of interviews with 32 white males, six appendixes include reverse discrimination accounts, ' the interview schedule used in the research, and documents about affirmative action procedures in colleges and universities. Throughout the book, Lynch illustrates his points with quotations from people he interviewed or from newspaper clippings and court records. Lynch condemns the sloppy, fearful thinking that has converted affirmative action into quotas and that has kept social researchers shying away from this explosive topic.
