Voting Rights--and Wrongs: The Elusive Quest for Racially Fair Elections
by
Abigail
Thernstrom
(AEI Press,
2009)
"Abigail Thernstrom is simply the best writer and thinker we
have on voting rights in America. Voting Rights--and Wrongs, the
culmination of decades of research and thinking, is the watershed
book that will reframe our thinking on minorities and the vote. This
book is grounded in an irony: that race-specific voting policies
designed to achieve racial equality in fact perpetuate racial
inequality. And now fate has conspired to reinforce Thernstrom's
thesis. Barack Obama's election makes it clear that minorities can
now win in a political open market. This is the book we need to
understand voting rights in post-Obama America." --Shelby Steele,
Robert J. and Marion E. Oster Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution. |
