Includes Introduction; Acknowledgments; Notes and Index. The lower page edge contains a tiny pencil eraser-size remainder mark-see photographs. "I read every word Heather Mac Donald writes and always have. She is brilliant, has tons of guts, and is an inspiration." - Peggy Noonan, Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. "America is in crisis, from the campus to the workplace. Toxic ideas - bred in college classrooms and nurtured by politicized scholarship - have undermined humanistic values, fueled intolerance, and widened divisions in the larger culture. Chaucer, Shakespeare and Milton? Oppressive. American history? Tyrannous. Teachers upholding rigorous standards or employers hiring by merit? Racist and sexist. Students enter the working world convinced that human beings are defined by their skin color, gender, and sexual preference, and that oppression based on these characteristics is the American norm. Speech that challenges these campus orthodoxies is silenced with brute force. The Diversity Delusion offers a devastating critique of these assumptions and of the world-view they define. It describes a metastasizing diversity bureaucracy in academia and the private sector that denounces meritocratic standards as discriminatory, enforces quotas, and teaches students and adults alike to think of themselves as perpetual victims. Tracing an arc from #MeToo mania to implicit-bias training that claims to discover racism in every interaction, Heather Mac Donald argues that we are creating a nation of narrowed minds, primed for grievance. Ultimately, we are putting our competitive edge at risk. But there is hope in the works of authors, composers, and artists who have long inspired the best in us. Compiling the author's decades of research and writing on the subject, The Diversity Delusion calls for a return to the classical liberal pursuits of open-minded inquiry and expression, by which we can discover a common humanity." - from the inner front jacket flap. "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, 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.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. As new condition blue boards with silver front cover and spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Introduction: The Policing Revolution, Crime, and the Anti-Law-Enforcement Movement; and Index. "First American Edition" is stated on the copyright page. "Violent crime has been rising sharply in many American cities after two decades of decline. Homicides jumped nearly 17 percent in 2015 in the largest 50 cities, the biggest one-year increase since 1993. The reason is what Heather Mac Donald first identified nationally as the "Ferguson effect": Since the 2014 police shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, officers have been backing off of pro-active policing, and criminals are becoming emboldened. This book collects and expands on Mac Donald's groundbreaking and controversial reporting on the Ferguson effect and the criminal-justice system. It deconstructs the central narrative of the Black LIves Matter movement: that racist cops are the greatest threat to young black males. On the contrary, it is criminals and gangbangers who are responsible for the high black homicide death rate. The War on Cops exposes the truth about officer use of force and explodes the conceit of "mass incarceration." A rigorous analysis of data shows that crime, not race, drives police actions and prison rates. The growth of proactive policing in the 1990s, along with lengthened sentences for violent crime, saved thousands of minority lives. In fact, Mac Donald argues, no government agency is more dedicated to the proposition that "black lives matter" than today's data-driven, accountable police department. Mac Donald gives voice to the many residents of high-crime neighborhoods who want proactive policing. She warns that race-based attacks on the criminal-justice system, from the White House on down, are eroding the authority of law and putting lives at risk. This book is a call for a more honest and informed debate about policing, crime, and race." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Heather Mac Donald is the Thomas W. Smith Fellow at the Manhattan Institute and a contributing editor of City Journal, where she reports on crime, culture, race, and education. Congress has asked her to testify on sentencing reform, policing, and immigration, and she is frequently invited on Fox News, CNN, and other TV and radio programs.
