About this title

Review:

"Rights Gone Wrong is sharp and surprising, and casts the discrimination debate in a clarifying new light." --Jeffrey Rosen, The New York Times Book Review

"Ford has written a highly accessible narrative that underscores the need for Americans to roll up their sleeves and do the heavy lifting necessary to address persistent economic and racial inequality....With this book, Ford has in effect contributed a new placard to the American protest march." --America magazine

"Cogent...A rationalist analysis of the efficacy of a multitude of antidiscrimination laws...All sides can learn much from Ford's thinking." --Publishers Weekly

"Persuasive...This subject tends to produce polemical writing on both sides, but Ford is consistently measured and thought-provoking. Recommended to anyone interested in public affairs." --Library Journal
