In The Case for Color-Blind Equality in an Age of Identity Politicsâ, Alan DershowitzâNew York Times bestselling author and one of Americaâs most respected legal scholarsâanalyzes the current battles over issues of diversity and our rapidly changing ideas about what true diversity is.
Alan Dershowitz has been called âone of the most prominent and consistent defenders of civil liberties in Americaâ by Politico and âthe nationâs most peripatetic civil liberties lawyer and one of its most distinguished defenders of individual rightsâ by Newsweek. He is also a fair-minded and even-handed expert on civil liberties and constitutional rights, and in this book offers his knowledge and insight to help readers understand the war being waged against meritocracy and equal protection of the law by so-called progressive advocates.
The Case for Color-Blind Equality in an Age of Identity Politics is an analysis of every aspect of the current fight against true diversityâdiversity of philosophy, background, and opinion, rather than the more surface-level diversity of race, religion, and location. It examines the United Statesâs history of systemic racism, debates about affirmative action, and ongoing reckoning with issues of bigotry against groups such as Asians, Blacks, and Jews, with an eye toward fairly balancing the concerns of a diverse populace.
In the end, The Case for Color-Blind Equality in an Age of Identity Politics represents an icon in American law and politics exploring the current rapidly changing attitudes toward meritocracy, personal identity, and the preservation of civil liberties for all citizens, regardless of background, race, class, or creed. It is essential reading for anyone interested in or concerned about identity politics, racial issues, and true diversity and fairness in America.
