PBC readers have heard me sing the praises of Russell Nieli’s fine book, Wounds That Will Not Heal: Affirmative Action and Our Continuing Racial Divide. Carl Cohen, who is a much better singer, agrees and has written an outstanding review of the book in the March 2013 Academic Questions (paid link available here). Particularly valuable is Professor Cohen’s catalog of the increasing empirical evidence that racial preferences do much harm and little or no good.
