Product Description
At last...the public hearing she was denied...These essays reveal keen powers of analysis applied to some of the most obdurate problems that bedevil electoral politics. Anyone who cares about the mechanisms of democracy should be engaged by her tough-minded explorations. It doesn't matter where you think you stand: it's all here, to argue or agree with.-- Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Lani Guinier's fascinating book is a prophetic intervention into a public conversation we desperately need to rejuvenate. There is no doubt that her powerful voice will produce good consequences for our nation and world. -- Cornel West, Author of Race Matters Intriguing and desperately needed... -- The San Francisco Chronicle

 "To be great is to be misunderstood" October 25, 1998
8 out of 13 found this review helpful
A classic example of how well thought out arguements are all to often misunderstood because of today's desire for the one-liner and the soundbite.
 Too much legalese, some good points October 16, 1998
6 out of 12 found this review helpful
Guinier's essays that evoked so much controversy when she was offered as a nominee for a key position in the Clinton administration. The introduction is more thought-provoking than the essays are, as the latter tend to get boggled down in legalese and political theory. At least the label of Quota Queen should be rejected by this book which gives an accurate portrait of his views rather than a conservative-media-biased one.
