Title: Disappointing--lacking in context and careful research
Review: A recent article in the San Francisco Daily Journal (a respected legal journal)by Karen Coleman describes this book as "a compilation of student essays...the book paints an unadmiring portrait of the defenders of affirmative action at Boalt." _The Diversity Hoax_ does not contribute, in a meaningful way, to the national conversation that is heating up as the Supreme Court prepares to rule on the Michigan cases. Instead this book expends its energy on a shallow attack against "defenders of affirmative action"...failing to inform readers about the deeper issues of the affirmative action debate.To better understand this important national issue, people should read more informed sources such as _Silence at Boalt Hall: The Dismantling of Affirmative Action_, which does give history and context as well as a personal account.
