Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

"Michaels has written a bracing polemic that should quicken the debate over what diversity really means, or should mean, in academia and beyond."--The New York Review of Books If there's one thing Americans agree on, it's the value of diversity. Our corporations vie for slots in the Diversity Top 50, our universities brag about minority recruiting, and every month is Somebody's History Month. But in this "eloquent" (Chicago Tribune) and "captivating" (Los Angeles Times) book, Walter Benn Michaels argues that our enthusiastic celebration of "difference" masks our neglect of America's vast and growing economic divide. When it was first published in 2006, The Trouble with Diversity provoked a firestorm of praise and condemnation--not only hailed as "genius" (The Economist), "cogent" (The New Yorker), and "impossible to disagree with" (The Washington Post) it was excoriated as a "wildly implausible" product of "the 'shock and awe' school of political argument" (Slate) and "Seething, misplaced, amnesiac resentment" (The Nation).
