by Russell K. Nieli (Author)
Racial preference policies first came on the national scene as a response to black poverty and alienation in America as dramatically revealed in the destructive urban riots of the late 1960s. From the start, however, preference policies were controversial and were greeted by many, including many who had fought the good fight against segregation and Jim Crow to further a color-blind justice, with a sense of outrage and deep betrayal. In the more than forty years that preference policies have been with us little has changed in terms of public opinion, as polls indicate that a majority of Americans continue to oppose such policies, often with great intensity.
In Wounds That Will Not Heal political theorist Russell K. Nieli surveys some of the more important social science research on racial preference policies over the past two decades, much of which, he shows, undermines the central claims of preference policy supporters. The mere fact that preference policies have to be referred to through an elaborate system of euphemisms and code words-- affirmative action, diversity, goals and timetables, race sensitive admissions-- tells us something, Nieli argues, about their widespread unpopularity, their tendency to reinforce negative stereotypes about their intended beneficiaries, and their incompatibility with core principles of American justice. Nieli concludes with an impassioned plea to refocus our public attention on the truly disadvantaged African American population in our nation's urban centers--the people for whom affirmative action policies were initially instituted but whose interests, Nieli charges, were soon forgotten as the fruits of the policies were hijacked by members of the black and Hispanic middle class. Few will be able to read this book without at least questioning the wisdom of our current race-based preference regime, which Nieli analyses with a penetrating gaze and an eye for cant that will leave few unmoved.Author Biography
Russell K. Nieli did his undergraduate work at Duke University during the tumultuous years of the late 1960s. After graduating from Duke, summa cum laude, Nieli studied for a while at Columbia University before entering Princeton University's Politics Department, where he focused on the study of political theory, religion, and American government. He received his Ph.D. in 1979 and later spent a year of study in Yale's Religion Department. Nieli is currently a Senior Preceptor in Princeton University's James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions, as well as a Lecturer in Princeton's Politics Department. He wrote a path-breaking book on the Austrian-English philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, and has published numerous articles in learned journals on a variety of public policy issues. Much of his published work in recent years focuses on issues of race in America, which he approaches from the perspective of classical liberalism and a God-focused humanism.
