Description: Product Details The Diversity Delusion: How Race and Gender Pandering Corrupt the University and Undermine Our Culture by Heather Mac Donald EAN: 9781250200914 ISBN: 9781250200914 Publisher: St. Martin's Press 2018, Hardcover Product Dimensions: 0.9 x 9.5 x 6.4 inches Pages: 288 Language: English Book Overview ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE DIVERSITY DELUSION "Why should we care what happens in the Ivory Tower? Because what happens there very soon happens everywhere. Heather Mac Donald warns us: The universities have been transformed into factories of ideology that mass-produce victims, certain in their oppression, searching everywhere for oppressors to blame and to punish. And the ranks of those deemed tyrants and persecutors threaten to swell until every single one of us is deemed guilty in some manner or another. Beware." -JORDAN B. PETERSON, AUTHOR OF 12 RULES FOR LIFE "Universities justify their privileged position by claiming to be forums for the promotion of clarity, logic, and evidence. Yet their own policies, affecting millions, are too often defended with factual howlers, logical non sequiturs, and mindless boilerplate. Heather Mac Donald may not persuade you on every point, but with her spitfire writing and scorn for nonsense, she is forcing universities to live up to their own principles." -STEVEN PINKER, JOHNSTONE PROFESSOR OF PSYCHOLOGY, HARVARD UNIVERSITY, AND AUTHOR OF ENLIGHTENMENT NOW "Others besides Heather Mac Donald have indicted academia for devastating liberal education, but no one has ever documented the damage as Mac Donald does in The Diversity Delusion. It is crammed with facts and numbers that universities go to great lengths to hide. How she did it is a mystery, but The Diversity Delusion will be my master reference for anything I write on these topics." -CHARLES MURRAY, AUTHOR OF BY THE PEOPLE AND COMING APART "A beautifully written, hard-hitting expose of the madness from gender wars to diversity mandates to attacks on speech and academic freedoms that has seized hold of the American campus, made education less liberal, and is now doing the same to our culture." -CHRISTINA HOFF SOMMERS, AUTHOR OF WHO STOLE FEMINISM?, THE WAR AGAINST BOYS, AND ONE NATION UNDER THERAPY "Not since Alan Bloom's The Closing of the American Mind has a book so thoroughly exposed the damage done to American institutions particularly universities by modern liberalism's glib commitment to 'diversity.' Mac Donald unveils today's true operating principle: that claims of social justice precede the diminishment of Western greatness. This book is a story of what happens when too much insecurity seeps into a great civilization." -SHELBY STEELE, AUTHOR OF SHAME, WHITE GUILT, AND THE CONTENT OF OUR CHARACTER About the Author Heather Mac Donald is the national bestselling author of The War on Cops, a Thomas W.
