Reviews

Polymath Jonathan Kahn manages to summarize, analyze, and connect recent histories of science, philosophy, and law brilliantly here. He critically examines the concepts of race, diversity, representation, and identity through diverse scholarly lenses, and shows how we got where we are now, with politically inflammatory and occasionally scientific meanings of “diversity” being debated and manipulated in the public forum. As a modern cultural analysis, it is a scholarly triumph! -- Jonathan Marks, author of <i>Understanding Human Diversity</i> and <i>Is Science Racist?</i> All around us, programs for equity and social justice are under attack. Jonathan Kahn’s argument in The Uses of Diversity is the antidote to the poisonous lie that structural racism has never existed. It should be read by every serious thinker and by all who still stand by the creed of equality. -- Joseph L. Graves Jr., coauthor of <i>Racism, Not Race: Answers to Frequently Asked Questions</i>
