The Trouble with Diversity: How We Learned to Love Identity and Ignore Inequality - Paperback
by Walter Benn Michaels (Author)
"A decade [after this book's first publication], Michaels offers a new afterword on how our regime of equal-opportunity exploitation has only intensified ... He [posits] that commitments to diversity fail to offer a premise for social justice and in fact legitimize the economic forces that drive inequality rather than offering a resistance or even a critique [and argues] that we should pay less attention to the illusory distinction of culture, and more attention to the real discrepancies of class and wealth"--Page 4 of cover.
