Reviews
In Inheriting Possibility, Ezekiel J. Dixon-Roman establishes himself as a social philosopher, methodologist, and policy analyst. In short, he provides the two ingredients on which intellectuals since Marx have relied: theory and method. As a theorist, few scholars match his ability to deconstruct the false binary between nature and culture. As a methodologist, he possesses sophisticated, interpretive skills of psychometrics and measurement's epistemological limits. Dixon-Roman is not only the complete package, but stands out as one of the most creative intellectuals of our time. -Zeus Leonardo, author of Race Frameworks: A Multidimensional Theory of Racism and Education How can a cultural theory of quantification become the starting point for a materialist analysis of socio-cultural forms of inheritance? Inheriting Possibility offers us compelling arguments for new ontologies of the number and radically challenges what we know about the use of statistics in education and socio-cultural analysis. -Dr. Luciana Parisi, Goldsmiths, University of London
