Reviews

“Always read Justin Driver, one of our foremost thinkers on law and education—especially now, when so much is unsettled in this enormously consequential domain of American life. This book is full of insight, trenchant analysis, and provocative questions about what the loss of affirmative action means.” —Emily Bazelon, author of Charged: The New Movement to Transform American Prosecution and End Mass Incarceration “This book stands as a brilliant reminder that the nation’s struggles to overcome the tragic legacy of discrimination against African Americans cannot and should not be subject to closure. Justin Driver’s insightful analysis of the Supreme Court’s decision in SFFA v. Harvard provides much-needed hope for our future. A book critically important to this fraught moment for American higher education.” —Lee C. Bollinger, former president of Columbia University and author of A Legacy of Discrimination: The Essential Constitutionality of Affirmative Action “Although much has been written about affirmative action, Professor Justin Driver has written a book that is stunning in its originality and insights. He carefully shows the weaknesses in both the conservative critiques and the liberal defenses of affirmative action. Most important, he offers a concrete path forward for universities to pursue diversity while being consistent with the Supreme Court’s rulings.” —Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean of University of California, Berkeley School of Law
