Race and Ethnicity in America
Articles on Immigration, Affirmative Action, and Bilingual Education, 490pp, $22.99
To the Memory of Nathan Glazer,
Who Resurrected American Ethnic Sociology
Throughout American history, issues involving race and ethnicity have been among the most important and the most challenging. Their potentially explosive nature has deterred many journalists or academics from addressing them in candid fashion, and the resulting vacuum has often been filled by serious misinformation.
For nearly thirty years, these subjects have been a major focus of my own writings, including such topics as immigration, affirmative action, and bilingual education, and many of my articles are collected in this book.

American Meritocracy Revisited
Elite Admissions, Asian Quotas, and the Free Harvard/Fair Harvard Campaign, 336pp, $19.99
For Ralph Nader, Steve Hsu, Stuart Taylor, and Lee Cheng,
We Tried Our Best
Over the last two generations, Affirmative Action policies based upon race have become a centerpiece of American society, heavily influencing the academic admissions policies that shape our country’s ruling elites. The leaders of our top educational institutions have always defended themselves against legal challenges by claiming that they are promoting the twin goals of meritocracy and diversity while avoiding the use of illegal quotas.
However, ten years ago I published a comprehensive ethnic analysis of our top American universities, statistically demonstrating the corrupt and biased aspects of their admissions system, which provided very strong evidence of an implicit Asian Quota. The widespread resulting media coverage launched a series of lawsuits and these cases have now finally reached the Supreme Court. Some observers believe the justices may be poised to overturn a half-century of legal precedent and ban the use of racial preferences.
Six years ago, I also organized an insurgent campaign for the Harvard Board of Overseers. Headlined by Ralph Nader, our Free Harvard/Fair Harvard slate of candidates would have required admissions transparency and abolished college tuition at the world’s most prestigious university. The national consequences for American higher education would have been enormous, but our effort fell short.
My own extensive writings on these issues of meritocracy and our 2016 Harvard campaign are collected together in this book.
